I am just about finished with the highway overpass where Dupont Rd. goes over the B&O near Elsmere Jct.   The B&O  (staging) goes through the backdrop and I needed a way to hide the hole.  Fortuetously, I found that S.

Okay, so, right now, my layout's DCC system is Bachmann EZ Command.

I've finally started to add scenery to my layout (sort of layout, it's only 4'x1'). I still need a few items but I thought I would start with what I have.

The main things I have to add is a large tree behind the old earth mover, and some corn in the corner.

The road will be painted the same colour as the crossing and the front of the yard office still needs blending in.

Heading Home...

This is the last post in this series, thanks for following along!!

Not much Railroady was expected here, but there were some cool surprises...

July 16, day 5 of our Road Trip.

First Stop:  Joe Atkinson and the IAIS Subdivision 4, West End (Visit Joe's BLOG on MRH)

Today was the last Model Railroad stop on our road trip. We met up with Joe Atkinson in Council Bluffs Iowa. Joe models the IAIS in and around Council Bluffs.

After mostly finishing Union Station, I got to looking at the REA Express Building just to the right of the station.  I had originally planned on using  a printed paper facade glued to foam board and decided that the building really needed to be 3-D to complement the main station.  So over the last couple of weeks, I designed and 3-D printed the building as shown in the video above.

To All: The First Coast Model Railroad Society (a non profit corporation ,501c) is looking for new members. We have an HO scale layout being built and an HOn3 layout that is complete. The members should live in the Greater Jacksonville, Florida area for your convenience in accessing the club. Monthly dues are $25.00, which gives you a key to the club building, running rights and use of your modeling skills. The HOn3 layout is modular and you may build one if you wish. The HO scale layout is approx. 12 feet by 50 feet and is a two level layout.

While I posted at the end of last October about modeling the bridge over the Mattabessett River in East Berlin, CT, I think I actually finished it months earlier. In any event - and now that East Berlin is starting to take shape along with Wethersfield - it was high time it got weathered so I could install it.

I've been doing some construction on the Yard.  I've been using the Free Mo module standards and Modutrak legs standards to base my construction off of.  I got the module frames together but the legs aren't fitting in the pockets without some level of "persuasion."  I posted a video show what I've gotten done and asking the viewer for some tips or tricks to get the legs to slide a bit better.

The less invasive the suggestion the better!
