boys (seven and four years old) were able to help. They helped
with photography, airbrushing, weathering chalk powders on
the trucks, and gluing the styrene pieces together for the cou-
pler mounting pads. This provided great bonding time with
them, and maybe they’ll stay bitten by the model railroad bug
for life. Now I look forward to having their help on building the
garden railway. We’ll also be installing a QSI Titan Magnum
decoder in a USA SD40-2. The boys (and I) are excited to hear
the engine rumbling down the tracks.
