iHoff.com - HO Train Set	Carter and Todd Building the Table Jan. 2007
With the long winters in the Berkshires, Carla thought that Carter and Dad should have a winter project to work on. So on Christmas morning Santa dropped off a train set. Below are the images through the progression of the HO train layout. Now the train (and the family) reside in Georgia, of course, so the hot days we can 't be outside, we've reassembled the train and added a new section so it fits the room...
