Moderator Note: redundant title with another post, so retitled it to make it plain that it's not a duplicate thread.

I wanted to include a Yard office on this portion of my layout and looked a few online and then I remembered that the wife had scored me a box of what I think is some older Marklin structures on Craigs List.

So I pulled the box out of the closet and found what I think would make a neat office. Although it is a little more modern than some of the other structures I plan on using, I figure it could be a stage of the layout that has gone through a little modernization and show some progress.

I  retired recently and found myself with lots of time so  decided several months ago to start model railroading again after a long hiatus.  I really appreciate the easy access to a broad range of knowledge now available and certainly have benefited from this forum!  I decided to post my modest attempts as it too may help others (They may even say—‘ gee—glad I didn’t try that!’)

just realized that I've been a member here for over 5 1/2 years, and have posted virtually nothing, lol

any ways, now 15 months into the new [second] layout, and did a bit of detailing on the sawmill area, and thought that I would share... era is 1890, mountain logging / mining ...

I was responding to MLW's Canadian post and kind of went off on a bit of a tangent, but had already typed it out, so I thought I'd create a new blog post about it since it was already written!
