About a month or so ago I was invited to join an operating session at a home in my new hometown.  I was excited to have an opportunity to operate on another Modeler's layout as most of my experience seeing other Modelers works in-person has been through small, modular displays at various train shows.

I had the opportunity to participate on the WTNW show this week. I want to thank Ken, Danil Mike and Dirk for having me on.

New Laser and Organizing your layout room-------What? This months video even has a Sear and Roebuck scratch build house.

Hope you enjoy

I'm contemplating this track arrangement the past few days. At present the single track main is to the front of the layout as it heads through Hillwood.

The yard has been somewhat simplified with only a single run around and 2 yard tracks and the industry track at the rear how ever the original is shown below.

Howdy,

Been quite a while since an update but we have been busy on a bunch of projects:

1. basic layout scenery
2. installing backdrop
3. ​scratchbuilding structures
4. weathering cars 

Heres how the layout looks now (best I could do for an overview):

A final update from the Grimes Line.

Two and a half months after our issues began, we again have a fully functional basement. What was intended to be just a sewer line replacement turned into a complete makeover, including wall stabilization, waterproofing, and crawl space cleanup. The result is a much cleaner, drier, and safer space than we had before and will serve us well, regardless of what we decide to do moving forward.

A friend of mine that fixes and sells "previously enjoyed" models asked me if I knew where he could get a replacement gear like shown in the picture, preferably with all the teeth. I told him I'd give a go and see what I could find. This gear drove some kind of model toy engine.

Looking for the collective minds on MRH for an answer. So, anybody have any ideas?

I’m not linked to these guys in any way but got the email saying you can get the game for free! Their email newsletters are actually pretty interesting and even though the game is sorta old it is still a good one.

All sides of this now finished project:
