It's just after 1pm and I've taken 667 photos today.... my shutter finger is tired.

The show appears to be going well - Fast Tracks says that they are setting records in sales. Today my goal was to get as many of the modular layouts committed to electrons as I could. I think I succeeded.

So... Welcome back to Cleveland.

Hi all,

I've created this thread to document progress on the construction of my On30 Bradford Valley Lumber Co.  I'll be posting updates below.

Cheers,

We all have those big projects that stare forebodingly at us. You know the ones we put off, etc. Sometimes, they aren't as big as we thought, and we just need to tackle it one bit at a time. 

I have been starting on structures for my layout and it is slow going, but it has been going well.

Been a busy week, but squeezed in some time today to work on the Engine House.

Received my roofing material last week and trimmed to size today and also installed the sky lights today.

The material comes in long strips so had to trim down to 4' X 8' sheets. they come 10' wide by 57' long.

I save the left over bits to use on the roof cap.

The day has arrived! We're all set up at the National Train Show in the New Cleveland Convention Center (come see us - we're front and center at the show).

There are  lot of new products here at the show, including some which were just announced today. So, in no order other than the one in which I was able to grab them for photography, here are several of the new items. This is not an exhaustive list by any means - I still need to go by Walthers, for instance.

I noticed the index that JL&T Jason created for his blog here on MRH and I thought I would do the same. It's a nifty idea.

My blog entries on MRH are a small subset of a much more detailed blog hosted at http://www.lkorailroad.com. So if you want the full scoop or if you can't sleep and warm milk isn't doing the trick then please visit my site.

From newest to oldest:

More progress on the Bridges. Branch line, Rawlins Branch, has been installed, gaurd rails placed, and the bents mudded in with Cal Coat 127. Now we need to paint the cal coat and then we need some water. Keep up with the story at https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/ahouston3/
