Hi All,

This here is a blog, that will follow the development of my new exhibition layout, based on the prototype location of Bridgewater in the Adelaide Hills. Originally, this station was a terminus for suburban services over the steeply graded Mt Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide, however with the opening of a new freeway, allowing commuters to travel to Adelaide in less than 20 minutes, the passenger services were cut back to Belair (on the Adelaide side of the ranges).

I just added a comment to my post

which includes more information about small refineries in North Dakota which are being built near the shale fields. There is also another article on pipeline construction. I think it's possible to combine all these elements together on a layout.

Have you ever wondered what others see when they listen to a conversation between a group of Rounders? Maybe something like these:

I have updated and moved the pictures to the Freight Car Terms post to save room and time.

NOTE: You may be able to see the pictures better if you click on them.

Thanks IAISfan for the suggestion about Lance Mindheim. I do read his blog, and I've already got two of his books. His incredibly realistic modern era modeling is one of my inspirations - although I dare say Los Angeles is every bit as interesting a modeling subject as Miami.
