Part 2:

Buildings set in place

Gluing in the fillers to bring grade crossing pieces to correct height. The small pieces between the rails are .030 styrene and the more rectangular pieces are .060 thick x 1/4" wide shown by the green pencil, but any width would work as long as the space allows it.

Hi all,

just recently I started to venture into DCC. My layout exists since quite some while, but it is more building  that wets my tongue, than actually driving trains around.

Also as I live in a flat, it is not big, consists of one layout element that hopefully at a later stage will find home in a suitable basement. As the blog says, I model the CP freelanced, so the UP has also some reason to exist. It is in N-scale and the passing siding tracks are a bit over 8 ft (as I have an old Rivarossi Big Boy, this would look otherwise somehow out of place).

If you are planning on attending the 2015 Amherst Railroad Hobby Show, January 24th & 25th, 2015, Purchase your tickets on-line at www.railroadhobbyshow.com and save money and you will not have to wait outside at the ticket booths.  Makes a great Christmas present !!!

I haven't posted anything to my blog in awhile because I've not done much on the layout lately.  I just seemed to hit a "creative lull" which happens sometimes. I've continued to download and enjoy MRH though and I've peeked at the forum on occasion and commented here and there on stuff of interest to me or where I felt I could help others but that's been the extent of my involvement in the hobby lately.

We've added a new feature to the C&Sn3 blog to make it easier to access information regarding our layouts.
