If you read the title you may realize not everyone will enjoyed y this but I am one great step,closer in model railroading. I emailed three major manufacturers on the subject of product review samples. I have so far heard back from BLI anf Atlas asking for more information. So hopefully in the near future I will be posting product reviews for those interested. The best part of all of this though is one: I can share some information on products and tWo: FREE STUFF

Logically I would wait until I had a relatively finalized track plan but since the train room also serves as storage (underneath and possible above) and laundry room, I have to move forward on that front.

I have acquired single track shelving and "16 brackets like below

Hope I am not stealing Joes thunder with this but I just received the ScaleTraons.com email newsletter saying preorders open up on Friday at 8:00

You may now go back to your regularly scheduled lives.

Today I worked on creating the last of the Fascia Panels for the layout.

This panel is the Carlisle Junction panel and is the major interchange between Conrail/Reading & Chessie System/D&H railroads.

Update:  Fixed the link to the video

It has been a long time since my last update.  Part of that is due to an addition to our family, we had our first child at the beginning of July, she takes up most of our time, but it is wonderful.  I've been working where I can on the layout, mainly getting the subroadbed, roadbed and mainline track installed as well as getting some rough cut fascia put up.  I now have a fully functional mainline loop for a continuous run, just need to cut the circuit breakers in when I get there.

I was browsing the MRH sponsors and noticed the links were wrong, for example there are two concors but one isn't, also Es laser kits takes you to Traintek. Just though I would let you know (and see if it was just me)
