The Overland Western Lines is an HO scale modular layout.

There were several Legos User Group layouts at the National Train Show this year. I saw banners or cards for BrickLab, ArkLUG, Twin Cities Lego Train Club (no layout, just a display), Texas Brick Railroad, and The Pewaukee Road,

Here are the posts (so far) that I have published on the 2018 National Train Show. Several more layouts to come, including the record setting T-Trak layout.

A lot of different eras and types of trains represented at the August 2018 op session running the layout(s).  Track work is done on the Inside Gateway mainline section.  I hope to complete scenery (basic not hyper-detailed) in time for the holiday open house this December.  Some of the guys got to run the narrow gauge too.  Enjoy!

It's been about two months since my first update, but this afternoon's work session leaves me with a good sense of accomplishment.  Overall, I'm pleased with the results, although there are a few spots with minor workmanship issues.

I may be half way around the world right now, but this has not stopped my propensity to acquire new materials or hunt down new projects.  Indeed, it appears projects seem to accumulate on my workbench at the same rate as they did before - it's High time we get some of them out of the ether and completed!

Hi @ all,

A friend pointed me to this website since he maintains a blog here, so I thought I try this too and see where it leads.

The last structure to be added to the model Great Western Loveland yard is the beet pulp warehouse. The warehouse received beet pulp and molasses from the factory. The pulp and molasses were pelletized and stored in bulk bins and burlap bags until it was needed.  The pellets were shipped in covered hoppers and box cars to feed mills for cattle feed.
