Which I believe my British cousins call the "tube."

Greetings friends. Been on the lam, as of late. Working full time, going to graduate school
(where you gradually find out you don't want to be there), restoring a 1960 Valiant, and
keeping up with the Railway and Historical Society.

Lately, part of this subway was a gift from WKS, which sent me down that particular
rabbit hole. It had a LOT of run time this month, first at a talk I gave regarding the
history of the NYC subway system and then all day at the Railroad Show at the Freeport-
McMoran Show.

It was a lot of fun; I got to run trains with 11-year-olds to 71-year-olds. The train layout,
BTW is not my construction. It was built by a very excellent modeler in the 1970s, was
rescued by Prince McKenzie of the El Paso Transportation Museum, and got a little
electrical tweaking from myself to get it running. That layout is about a half-century old.
