Guest Book
I hope you've enjoyed visiting the Acadian Coast Eastern. I welcome your comments, questions, or any ideas you might have for improving either the layout or the website. Thanks for stopping by!
I think I've taken on a small-enough project that I might actually get to finish it in my lifetime, particularly if I'm able to find the one modeling tool I'm still looking for – a round tuit. FWIW, I probably average about 8 hours a week "in Maine", but I've had stretches of 0 hours for weeks at a time (going away on vacation from my retirement -- the best!), and stretches of 20 hour weeks for a month or more. I estimate that a third of my Maine time has been spent operating or just daydreaming rather than modeling. So 52 weeks per year x 8 hours per week x .67 x 4.5 years = maybe about 1250 total hours of working on the ACE, of which 10-20% was on stuff I've removed and redone. So what you see on the website now probably represents about 1000 hours of workin' on the railroad way less than all the livelong day. I told you I work slowly.
I do know that I have years of additional enjoyment in front of me, and I might get around to posting new photos and updates on my progress now and then. Anyway, model railroading success is a journey, not a destination, and every week I get to take a few pleasant trips to down east Maine as it might have looked in the 1930's.
