Well folks, things have been busy around the Ghost River these last few months and I figured it was time for an update. Lighting is much imnproved, but not perfect and scenes are coming together. Lots of rolling stock has been purchased as well as severl engines. No trains are running as it's difficult to manage them and the camera at the same time.

Still tons of work to do and decisions to be made. Hope you enjoy.

I've finally finished, for now, the work on my Klitsa Koal mine. The mine is scratchbuilt using wood I cut in my shop, parts from a plastic kit, balsa and tinfoil for the roofing. The bridge is a scratchbuilt copy of an actual bridge spanning a gorge on the Spokane Falls and Northern on a route that brought their line into southern British Columbia in the late 1890's. A photo of the bridge can be seen on page 22 of "The Kettle Valley and its Railways" by Hal Riegger.

Things have been pretty busy around the layout since I got back home. I've completed my staging yard at the start of the layout and also the staging yard on the upper shelf. I've gotten the casting bug lately and have made a lot of molds and castings. Now I just have to get them installed.

Lots of purchases to sort out after my visit to the kidlets. Engines, cars, detail parts and buildings to work on in between the spring honeydo list.

Visit with Kidkets is going great. Have visited two hobby shops this past week. Forgot what it was like to disappear into the world of, "what if." Came away a bit lighter in the pockets at both hobby shops. Might even get out to the local club for a visit this coming week.

Hello all.

This is my first video of the layout that I am building. I figured that this would be easier than trying to make a track plan at this stage. Just to many other things to do at the moment. Still lots of work to do on all aspects of the layout, but things are moving along. The track plan leaves a lot to be desired, but it's about all I can do in the space I have available. My real world interchange/parent company is Canadian Pacific. Only one small extension to add on and then benchwork will be complete.I hope I don't bore you.
