Couldn’t sleep—what a shame–
Had playtime to reclaim…
Three or more tries
Under night skies,
But with a clearer brain!
–
He completed reconnecting
Both spur and runaround track connecting….
All rail joiners fit
He was done with it,
Couldn’t test with the power pack defecting!
–
Musical power packs,
Changing over to power tracks…
When he’s done
both layouts’ll run,
He’ll go on to more creative acts!

Google Image of a real train engine switching a spur track..
A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

Practice in city driving
Thankful sufficient timing…
Route memory
Made it easy,
Without my wife’s reminding!

He hopes he’s not ingenuous,
His time each evening tenuous…
has been uploading
Bicentennial railroading,
found some Header Images stupendous!
–
Honoring July fourth,
By patriotic train cars of course…!
His N scale uses
Bicentennial cabooses,
To which the “seal” says, “ORT-ORT!”
–
Fancy red-white-and-blue,
Appears on bikinis too…
But this year
Railcars are dear,
So them you have to view!

BELOW: a sampling of the GOOGLE IMAGES I found!
His N scale model railway,
Unfinished to this day…
Is labeled P.C.
Not politically,
But “Procrastination Central”, he’d say!
–
So much on it still to do,
Each project is almost half-through…
Keeps changing direction
On theme selection,
Rearranging things as if on cue
–
HE THINKS…he’s nailed it down,
His scrap plastic pile’s quite a mound…
Rough kitbashing
Some parts go missing,
On which he won’t expound!

woe betide them that try
to se in stone what needs more time…
My turn table lost?*
without further cost?
Then I looked near bed time!
–
I thought I’d lost my lead
To that tyrn table, but indeed…
A curve could be made
With large enough radius laid,
To satisfy the using of steam.
–
A switch I’d previously cut in,
To one engine stall could run…
The other could Branch
From the turn table switch–
My space problem was overcome!
–
Envisioning a massive water wheel,
Fed by a sluice pipe has appeal…
This motorized–
Already planned (what a surprise?),
For which the tourists would positively SQUEAL!
–
And then, the bridge over a mill dam flood—
If I wanted, a covered bridge wouldn’t take TOO MUCH blood…!
Just for light tourist trains–
Steel reinforced all the same–
An occasional short freight could be good!

I wish I could draw all this now,
All it took was time to see how…
Possibilities arise
by opening one’s eyes,Imagination plus a day’s-worth of wrinkled brow!

*NOTE–Refer back to the post..ECONOMIC CHOICES IN MINIATURE…posted yesterday~!
The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!
–
This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,
An engineer left, smirking…
I used to drink
Two potfuls I think,
An empty machine is irking!

She worked at UNIBANK
In Douglas–I wanted to thank
Her for her time
And her job climb,
Her brand new upward rank.
–
On an impulse I stopped today,
Someone smiled and showed me the way…
A classy place-
Seeing her face
Washed all my concerns away!
–
She said that I looked good,
My wife’s hand braces–understood…
The joy of less pain,
She said come again
I told her that maybe I would!

The Poet’s gone searching again,
For winter scenery then…
GREEN MOUNTAIN’s Alcos—
He’d love to see those—
His favorite engine!
–
ALCO RS-1’s in the cold,
Working with heart although old…
Giving class
To a road short of cash,
That railroad’s survival they’re owed!
