It is the end and beginning,
Both ends have the modeler grinning…
Mirrors no smoke
Play tricks on folk,
This end faced some trimming!
–
At one time our back room,
Was for its display we assumed…
For it to fit
I shortened it a bit,
The “tail tracks” were thus groomed.
–
Powered by coal and wood chips,
A research power plant slips…
In right here…
Or over there,
About it I’ve made up news clips!
–
The red “bridge” at lower right,
A bulk transfer available at night…
Sky lights in roof
Will give the proof,
Once the building’s in sight.
–
On the track heading back toward the church,
Will be “NORMAN’S” where I once worked,
Far from exact
But with the switchback,
The real one had…and it still worked.
–
What once was a pond for a mill,
On the front edge–a road uphill…
For trucks of salt “and”
Distribution as planned,
From the salt shed that isn’t yet built!
