I'm about to start to add a brewery to my layout and decided on the Hampden Brewery which was about 1 mile from where I live. It is long been closed but one of the 1800's buildings is still standing.

The Hampden Brewery opened in 1868 - 1975. Had many owners and the last owner was Piels

I finally started to paint some locos with my railroad's paint scheme.

Pictured locos started out as undecorated units. I started out painting them all white and let them dry over night. Then masked out what I wanted to stay white. Then painted the red let that dry over night and masked what was going to be red then painted the blue. Unmasked everything but windows of one Genset 2. Again let it dry over night. Today I put the first coat of clear gloss. When it is dry next will be the decals then matt clear coat.

Here are some videos of the progress new on our layout.

       HH&J Logging peninsula is a switch back logging with a Shay and a Climax steam engines.

My theory is a modern day company has a Shay and a Climax steam engines and is logging this mountain and brings the logs to the saw mill and/or the interchange yard. From the interchange yard a local train will come and pickup the loads and bring them to a yard for classification to parts of the layout and staging.

The base level will be around 40" off the floor and camp #7 will be around 60" off the floor.

    Hello All,

I'm about to start posting my Logging part of my layout. I hope you all will enjoy the journey.

Here is the track plan for the logging peninsula.
