Spending Boxing Day working on Train Describers for the layout. Every TD berth has to have strict rules written for when and how the train description moves to the next berth when a train moves.

I spent yesterday afternoon playing trains with my Dad on his layout. It’s the first time we’ve played trains together for nearly 50 years. Very special time.
