Couldn’t sleep—what a shame–
Had playtime to reclaim…
Three or more tries
Under night skies,
But with a clearer brain!
–
He completed reconnecting
Both spur and runaround track connecting….
All rail joiners fit
He was done with it,
Couldn’t test with the power pack defecting!
–
Musical power packs,
Changing over to power tracks…
When he’s done
both layouts’ll run,
He’ll go on to more creative acts!

Google Image of a real train engine switching a spur track..
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE MY OWN
This model train layout comparing,
For me is getting quite wearing…
I don’t have room
Laying track to the moon,
Nor wish for hair out-tearing!
–
It seems that I’ve found
My basic concept is sound…
A New England yard
On which I’ve worked hard,
And still find interesting ground.
–
Although there’s much work to do,
Determined to see it through…
Without much change,
‘Though I’ve rearranged
Enough things to thicken the stew!
–
Maybe a separate loop
Of track, a display group…
Will satisfy
When trains must fly,
But not get lost in the soup.
–
Been planning a coal trestle for
A small power plant next door…
A historic canal,
The tourist to wow
And representative industries, sure.
–
The track is mostly in place,
I just have egg on my face…
Need to rewire
To help transpire
The switching of trains at my place!
