Well, I've finally went back to working on the Joppa Subdivison Layout...After about an 18 month hiatus...due to planning, and capital issues...So, I have invested in layout design software, mainly for having my webpage redone with the layout schematic on it...along with pictures of various areas of the layout and such.

Right now, the layout room is getting new berber carpeting and padding...I have installed a new air conditioner system, along with more electrical installtions for ease of lighting...while I am doing that, I'm starting on some of the new motive power for the layout...mainly B23-7's, GP15-1's, and GP38-2's...just to have  a few units in operating condition once the mainline is down and operational.

I have been building engines with Brian Banna's tutoring, so I have an idea as to how much detail I will put into these new units...but they will have more detailing done on their undercarriage than before due to the multi-level design that I am using...I have found on the previous versions of this layout that you can see a heck of alot of the underframe when viewing the trains at eye level.

I plan to start tracklaying by August...and hope to have some trains running by the end of September on the bottom deck, if possible...I am meticulous about my trackwork, so I won't even make promises to myself about that!!

That's all for now...I've began rewriting my webpages as well...and I'll have them uploaded soon.
