    Now just what is your formula once again? One year outside and then two years in the wood shed?

    I remember when I first saw your stacks &
    Read Your 3 (+) year plan
    I copied the 2+ year seasoning & cross stack technique.
    Built a woodshed &
    It evolved from there for my climate, location & set up.
    Some old dogs can learn new tricks :yes:

    The train keeps some fun in it all
    Caps off my CSS’ing season

    Yea
    Engine might look small to the size of the loaded cars
    But
    Birch powered, add the Aurora Borealis effect
    & the rails lubricated with ice
    The train could be twice the size
    :yes:
    LOL

    Thanks Dave. Perhaps one of these days I'll honor you and build something with our wood stacks.
