I think you meant  :).

This is a good thing.  We just bought our dream house.  I plan to take the G scale with me.

It's eerie how much this looks like photos of the real RGS after abandonment.

Glad I got to see it in person! I can't wait to see what you do with the large scale in the new space.

Survey crews were seen taking measurements today in the landscape borders and around the elevated garden boxes at the new property.  About four feet of track was laid temporarily to test stability and ground conditions but quickly removed.  Rumors suggest a serious effort may be under way among railroad management to restore some sort of outdoor narrow gauge service to this part of northern Colorado Springs, but the editors caution against too much optimism at this point.

New property?

I moved three years ago.  That’s why I had to tear down the old one.

Gotcha.  I thought “new property” meant you were moving on again.  That would likely be devastating for the HOn3 RGS.
