Put together a video of the westbound daily manifest M-EUKF running from Eugene Staging to Wicopee on the lower level of the layout. A lot to learn about videography and editing, but starting somewhere! Enjoy!

This holiday season marks the fifth year of construction for the Cascade Subdivision railroad, and a project started many years ago has eluded my attention since: completing the track work to Klamath Falls. I originally constructed the spline roadbed in year two, however neglected completing the project for whatever reason. As Oakridge and the rest of the lower deck await scenery, it is time to bring the rest of the line up to speed starting with completion of the benchwork and subroadbed.

With less than a week away from my big push to complete the mainline on my Cascade Sub, I wanted to share some outlets for following along with the progress on this and future projects. Daily updates will be posted on the railroad's new Facebook page: @upcascadesub while a more complete update and projects overviews will continue to be posted on the MRH blog and on the railroad's blogspot page (upcascadesub.blogspot.com). 

It is not often acknowledged, but model railroading is a difficult hobby. Our projects are complex, time-consuming, and diverse in scope, requiring of us to be planners and engineers, carpenters and electricians, and artists and sculptors. We seek to create a miniature built environment and natural world with increasingly complex interactions and diversity. To even come close is just shy of a miracle, and only accomplished by very few among us.
