You could fit a lot in N scale. The garden train was the wife's idea after we went to a large model train show where they had a couple G scale train lay outs.

Wife and I are retired two years now and loving it. You need something to do, we have hobby's Wife does stained glass, I am a woodworker, mostly turnings, we both enjoy model trains in our garden and we have two vintage campers that we take camping. The trick is to keep busy or you get bored...

Mine did that awhile back more then once, had the dealer make a note of it, they had no idea why, been fine since.

Was under my truck to check on the carrier bearing it was fine, but there was grease on the frame at the slip joint. Had one of my free oil changers done and asked the service manager to check on the slip joint. He said the boot is ripped, they have ordered a new drive shaft and will install it...

Here you go front and back. The camper is a 1963 Kenskill made in California.

Here we are at Sampson State Park in NY for a vintage camper rally. Not as exciting as some of the other camp sites. I live in NY and the wife is not a traveler or we would come out west.

Four hour ride for us, already booked for next May.

We were up there in May at Kring Point state park. There are apps that you can use to see a lot of info about the big boats that are passing by. We were surprised at how quiet they are for there size.

I will be checking the bolts ever few miles.

Picked my truck up from the dealer. Service manager said the tech forgot to put loctite on the carrier bearing bolts. Service manager gave me two free oil changes and the tech apologized to me personally. The tech is the only one that does the clutches and has done 15 of them with no problems...

I am glade we were not going fast. It does make me wonder what else they didn't tighten, like the bolts in the clutch that I can't check, the drive shaft I will check when I get it home.

This shows the parts. It does work better. The peddle feels a little stiffer to me which is ok. Stopped going up my driveway (8% grade) and it is easier to get going again. Will be pulling my dump trailer with a ton of coal putting it close to 4000#,in the next couple of weeks will post how...

It is done will pick it up in the morning, and test drive it and post what I find out.

Dropped my Gladiator off this morning for the recall at the dealer.

It has one propane lantern on a wall. We don’t use, I don't trust it and they get very hot. Its there only because I think its cool.

This is what I pull. No I don't know what it weights. Pulling with a Willys 6 speed. We are at Chenago Valley state park near Binghamton NY. I also have a dump trailer that I put one ton of coal in, total weight about 4000#. I think the camper loaded is a little less then that.

Here we are at Kring Point State Park near Alexandria Bay NY. First time out this year and first time with this camper. 1963 Kenskill
