That's great news :D , since I live 8 miles south of Bath,and railfanning is difficult at best!(My boss thinks I'm nuts because I carry my camera most of the time, and if we're working close to the tracks and we hear long,long,short,long :D -I'm on a full sprint to get the camera and get to the tracks :wink: , but he puts up with me :D ) But, on the other hand, that means I'll need to look for the appropriate passenger rolling stock, since I'm modelling Bath, ME(at least where the "mainline" goes through) in HO scale, as well as the Carlton and Sagadahoc Bridges(they need to be shortened, I dont have 14 feet to model them to scale :( )and Woolwich. Once I finish this I will probably model parts of Brunswick, as well.

I would love to see photos of your layout when you get it finished! In addition to being a railfan, I'm a bridge fan as well... and the Carlton is one of my favorites.

If my life slows down enough for me to actually have time to make more progress on my layout(I still have a loooong way to go, still :( ), I will definitely have some good pics. I'll let you know.
