Things are moving along........
Title:  Things are moving along........
Description:  Now that the snow and deep cold are gone, hopefully, things are moving ahead. The little yellow piece of eqpt near the crane is the Railavator, which was lurking at Old Monroe recently. Also, spotted a gon with a switch in it, from Matt Schimmel's photos on this site, which could be for here.
