here comes the train!

Today my doggie Weegee and I drove out to my Grandfather's house in preparation for my show at Contemporary Crafts. He's the authority in my life on the subject of model trains, and when I called to consult, he said he even had some parts he could lend me for the show. We then went to the greatest train store I've ever been to: Whistle Stop Trains in Gresham. They had an incredible inventory and I was able to buy the few other things I needed to get the train together this weekend. I should be done constructing pieces this weekend and will be ready to paint and do other finishing touches on this show before it opens in less than a month!
