 (Matt, age 7) |
Hi my name is Matt.
I am 8 years old and almost ready to graduate the third grade. I like to draw mazes
and write stories. I wrote a story about two trains called Jake and Jamie
that I will put online soon. I also wrote a story about a poodle and popcorn.
Here is a link that shows you my original manuscript with illustrations by me!
Do Poodles Like Popcorn I also like Scouts. I am now a Bear Cub Scout.
I like earning loops, pins, and badges. I am going to be an Eagle Scout
when I get older. I like springs and pulleys. I want to get a degree in
animatronics. My favorite class in school is art. My favorite Thomas trains
are Lorry, Salty, George, James and Toby.
On the weekend of May 1 & 2 (2004) we went to Rail Days in Spencer, NC. I had a great time, check out these photos... |

Story
Review Percy
is talking with Bill and Ben. Percy is saying that a little water is nothing
to him.
He was teasing Henry about the rain. When he was with Thomas, Percy saw a sign that said "danger". Percy asked the trucks if they could push him past the sign. He went into the water. Then Percy got stuck. He had to wait all day to come out of the water. A crane took him out of the water and loaded him on a car. Henry took him to get cleaned. I like the story because Percy fell into the water. I liked it in the end because Henry kept teasing Percy after Percy had teased Henry and Percy could not get away. |

Wooden Railway Layouts
Going Up. One of the great features of a wooden railway track
system is the ability to make the layouts three dimensional. Going up
requires ascending track and support. Once you are up you can support
the track with bridges, support blocks, and multi-level supports. The
cool part about the multi-level supports is the ability have track run
at ground level under the support. Reduce the number of support needed
with Suretrack Clips. These clips do a great job of keeping the track
connected. So not only will you need much fewer supports, you will spend
less time repairing layouts.
Layout
Ideas
One of the best
website pages for layout ideas is operated by our friends at Suretrack.
The folks who make the plastic tabs keeping up all my multilevel layouts.
Take a look.
