Farmrail in HO Scale - New Layout!

Hello all,

I've moved away from blogging here in recent months because I started my own website and YouTube channel, and didn't want the work of redundantly posting the same things.  However, I had several people comment on some of my newer content that they had originally seen me here on MRH and lost track of what I've been up to, so I decided to provide a quick update!
