I like the 0N30 gauge due to its detail, it forces me to up my game and create more detailed landscapes and buildings.
Often, in the middle of the night. I will sit down and pretend that I am walking down the dirt roads or standing in the shadows watching the train as it carries its load around the layout.
For me; it's a form of escape. I become immersed in
the layout and drift into my creative side.
If I get hung up in my writing and the words log-jam
in my mind, I will sit at the railroad and believe that
I am only one inch tall.
My dad gave me my first train set a long time ago. I was hooked the moment he set up the track and I watched the engine tear around the loop.
I remember the smile on his face. He knew what he was doing.
I hope he watches the trains on my new layout; perhaps he wanders through it while I am not watching.
The miniature adventures continue: The Freedom of Imagination - Hawks Ridge
Passenger and logging trains are the mainstay of the Hawks Ridge and Winding Canyon Railway.
Here we see a few of the trains as they trundle their way from station to station.
My partner and I just read your book....we are avid canoeists and live in Nature and are in love with Haliburton County.....we loved your book - the feelings of nature and your native spirit has brought us closer to the beautiful nature that surrounds us.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much, for your comment: when you're in touch with nature to the degree that I feel you are, you most likely recognize the subtle nuances of energy which flood any natural habitat. I wrote this book as if I was transcribing an external voice. I am so glad that you picked up on the hidden messages within the book's text. I am hoping to release the sequel to A Long Paddle Home in the near future. Stay tuned and stay green. It's comments like your's which give me hope that natural areas will continue to thrive ~ R.G Wright/Hawks Shadow "Keep Paddling"
