There hasn't been much in the way of work on the layout so I haven't had much to write about. We had been dealing with my better half Amy's Step Father being operated on for cancer last week, and his being in the hospital since then.
Today we lost him to complications and heart failure. It had looked up until yesterday that he was starting to get better, but early this morning he passed on. It was, and is a shock to us, and we are all trying to come to grips with what just happened. Uncle, as I called him (a term the younger generation in Chinese culture use for older generation males not related to them as a sign of respect) will be missed by us all. I know the family will get through this, but it's always hard when things like this happen, especially around the holidays.
It's 1943 and the country is at war. Allied victories are turning the tide of the war and America's industries and the country's railroads, big and small, are doing their part. The Maryland & Pennsylvania RR (Affectionately known as The Ma & Pa) might not have been as busy as the big RRs, still played its part in contributing to the eventual Allied victory. Come and see this all relived again as I build an HO scale version of The Ma & Pa, 1943.
