Wow has it really been 3+ years since my last blog entry?!   Sorry about that.   The reality is I kinda lost my modeling mojo along with "life" getting in the way.  The LAJ still exists though!  :)

I've settled on my modern waybill template (simulating a simplified computer print out of the waybill), so thought I share some examples.

The format for the bill is (top to bottom):

-Originating railroad who created the bill with the ACI code (readily available via ORER's, etc)

Just some small updates... high res version here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqkcji0rq8r1ega/LAJ%20layout%202-20-18.jpg?dl=0

Not that I am anywhere close to having any sort of Ops Session (though the gameplan is to have the first one - hopefully - next year), it is fun to at least think about how the layout is to be operated.

Finally took the time to draw up a track plan of my little switching layout.

Spent last night finishing the track work for the Hill's Pet Nutrition plant in Commerce CA.  It's situated on a 2'x5' or so peninsula off the layout and will be one of the key anchor industries on my LAJ.  The plant was served by two tracks, for a total of six car spots.

A little background... I am modeling the Los Angeles Junction Railway in HO, circa 1985.   From the BNSF web site:

Going to play around with this blogging thingie... so, hi :)

Took the first step of constructing the Los Angeles Junction in HO.  If it looks like a Free-mo module it is (or was - its being re-purposed).
