It's right there at the end of the building. A brand new layout from scratch.

It has been four years since the last post and now I am moving forward with the dream!

As this moves along, I plan, that is the key word, plan, to tell the story of the Sun Valley RR. In all of it's gory details, fails, trips, slips and falls. Including the cost. All of them.

I'll start with picking the property. We built our home on an acre of ground. I looked for a year and a half to find the perfect place to build and I got lucky. I knew that I wanted enough room to be able to build a barn to house a future railroad that was high and dry. I bought an acre of ground for $29,000. We moved in on Valentines Day of 2006.

Now here we are in twenty twenty

Awesome!

I just moved into my new house, and I'm going to be developing the basement soon for a layout. You have way more room in your pole-barn there. Are you going to be using it for just a layout, or for equipment (tractor, woodworking) as well?

500 sqft

Juxen, The layout room will be in the back 20 feet. That will give me a 480 sqft enclosed layout space, charlie in charleston
