A Waiting and a Warm Wish to You in this Season

A season of waiting. Here at Wheels of Time, I am waiting for my factory to complete the production of our special run of heavyweight baggage-express cars with RailSmith.  I am waiting to finish with all the end of year stuff, one must do as a business.

Here in the photo sequence, where we are waiting for the Caltrain special Christmas train to come through. It was late because of an auto was stuck in the tracks.  Was it worth the wait?  Yes!  
Below is my SP C-40-3 caboose #1172 which I built from a modified TrainCat kit -  in-between all my work, assignments and family life.  Well, mostly finished except the frog eyes and interiors - after more than 10-yrs in the making!  Definitely worth the wait.

Waiting is worth it. It's hosting something that is yet to come. It’s like Advent before Christmas.

Regardless how you celebrate this Season, I sincerely wish you the very best. May you be blessed with health, joy and good connections with your family and friends!A waiting for Xmas trainWaiting - 921It's worth the wait!10-years in the making - model of SP C-40-3

Happy 2024 to you all!

Jim Starbuck sent us some of his photos of his fine workmanship. It's a Wheels of Time N scale DIY kit for the Milwaukee Road verson of the FM H12-44. Jim said, "This built into an excellent model. It has a LokSound decoder and a TCS KA-N1 keep alive. It runs beautifully and sounds very nice." Thank you Jim for sharing with us.

Enjoy!
