FRN

Given the dearth of posts on this blog lately, this will come as no surprise, but I’ve decided to bring FRN to a close. I have increasingly found myself stretched a bit too thin over a few too many projects. To borrow a relevant cliché, I’ve run out of steam.

I’m reluctant to stop, because I’ve been proud of some of the work I’ve done here since last October. Of the more than 280 posts over the lifetime of this blog, here are some that I like the best:

• When Scale Isn’t in Gauge (March 21, 2007)
• CN Safety Audit Released (March 2, 2007)
• El Cementerio de Trenes (February 15, 2007)
• CN’s Safety Record Gets on Television (February 10, 2007)
• Model Railroading: Rich Men, Deep Pockets? (January 24, 2007)
• Gorre and Daphetid (December 1, 2006)
• Prototype vs. Freelance (November 29, 2006)
• Narrow Gauge Tourist Railroads (November 17, 2006)
• Darius McCollum Arrested Again (November 13, 2006)
• Take Your Model Train to Work Day (November 10, 2006)
• Cheap, Accurate, Easy: Pick Two (November 2, 2006)
• A Bounty of Big Boys (October 27, 2006)

If only I had the time and energy to post entries like this on a regular basis. But I don’t — not often enough to make this blog viable as a standalone entity. So, I’ll be folding posts about trains back into my personal blog, which is where I blogged about them before I launched FRN. I’m not going to stop blogging about trains — not by a long shot. (I’ve even got something about CN to post tonight, just you wait.)

So join me there, won’t you? With any luck, you’ll even be able to tolerate my posts on other subjects …
