Hello,

it's been some time since my last update. In May I held the first operating session in the new basement. These time my friend Daniel did the filming. After the session I had a little flooding in the layout room during a thunderstorm, but I've got lucky and only a bit of the scenery was harmed, The baseboards and electrics weren't harmed.

So here is the video from the operating session. Enjoy.

The NNE Scenic V3 is now starting the transition from the dream and design stage documented in my NNE Scenic V3 Design Process blog post into actual physical work beginning to occur.  This blog thread will be the long term thread for the actual build out of the railroad.

Waiting on the closing process to finish up so it's looking like move-in will be November and then hopefully January to start construction. Side note, been making some progress on the workbench projects. Will have an update out soon and a room/track plan reveal after that. Thanks for following guys and stay tuned.

I have been kind of quiet being as I have been dealing with working at a new job, trying to get a house ready to sell, and finally getting a new place lined up to move into in September. One thing I was looking for in a new house was a location I could have work space and layout. I have thought long and hard about what I want to do with my new space as both a work space and HO scale layout.

It’s arrived, and right out of the box!
