The Last Run of the WWV. . . .for now, anyway. . .

In early October, 2004, the bedroom-sized WWV layout made its final run. Mary and I purchased a home with a bit more room for our growing family, so I invited a few folks over for one last hurrah before pulling the plug, cutting the rails at the sectional benchwork joints, and dismantling the railroad. It was sad to see it go--I had a great time building it, and an even better time sharing it with friends old and new who came over to operate. There is a new WWV on the drawing board, though, in a much larger room, so I don't look at the end of this version of the WWV as anything other than a progression to bigger and better things.

Headed for Potlatch
