New layout

Its been almost three years since i stopped work on my greenbrier logging and lumber co. I have moved out of the rv and into a house so i am starting a new layout that will be 3 foot longer than my old layout. I should be ready to start the layout in July. Am working on a plan now. More to be revealed....

More updates

I have been working on two jobs here at home. One is the layout and the other is my truck. I have the truck running but need to finish the paint and the side steps yet. also have to find some lower seat pedestals. Getting there for sure.

New layout design- new name, The Greenbrier lumber co.

Well, I made it here. This is all i can think for now. The tunnel is under the log camp I can use the 1.26" for the camp as i only use cars that are lower height. I think the tallest engine i have is the 4-4-0.The interchange is with B&O. This layout will be put on foam.  Am planning for a bigger layout for the future 'IF' we ever stop traveling. Any ideas ?   Smokey

The loop and lookout rr

Well i am back. Going through bankruptcy is a pain. But now things are looking better. Hope by spring or summer i can get my shed built so i can start up my new layout. Will have a 8X10,  So it should be big enough for my layout. Should be getting some kits for kit bashing and some that i like for the way they are. The loop and lookout rr is a kind of rip off of a logging and coal train back in West Virginia not far from where our family lived. Its no longer there. I added some features from another ghost town called Spruce. Lots of research on it.
