My N Scale journey - Part 3 - lockouts, lockdown (and a note on scale again)
Hello again,
(longish post ahead)
It's great to be back blogging again. I think it's been a couple of months since I last posted which is a travesty, given my initial plan to post an entry every fortnight or so documenting my (slow) N-scale layout progress.
9PM EST 10/17/2020~ Late Night w/ Crossed Anchors R/R and Dakman Productions hanging out w/ the one and only Train Freak
Diorama cross-run
I recently made a photo series with a train passing through several of my dioramas.
It started at 30th Street Yard, where PRR SN1200 #8539 is preparing for a transfer move to a local industry district. At the old depot, the transfer move stopped to pick up some crew members.

Passenger Service at Bingham Canyon and Copper King mine.
Passenger Service is a must at the Copper King Mine, the railroad is the only way to get to work at the mine and mill. Bingham had passenger service for only a short time, we talk about that and show the few pictures we have of that time. Some of the photos from the Utah Historical Society.
Skeleton frame baseboard
I have brought some 9mm ply to start my baseboard modules. I was sent to a webpage regarding skeleton style baseboards, but do think I could find it again. Nope can't find it so I'm going to have to design my own. I hope I can do it without waisting my wood.
Some Recent Modeling
I've been doing some modeling work recently. You can read all about it here, or my most recent posts are below:

LDRR 4K Video, Screen capture at 1080p and displayed at 720 on MRH 4 Joe
OK, I know the color grading does not match the layout lighting, It is a little darker than I (ISO 100 and the camera is a permeant F2) want for the South West, but we are in a basement that needs more lights. I know it does not look as clear as you think it should, but this is 4K Video played on a 1080P PC screen and snipped with a screen capture, then uploaded to MRH and displayed at 720. I know we have focus issues the camera was set to auto focus and it is a vloger type camera so it seeks out people or a person to focus on in its algorithm.
