My latest project is for a new area for switching on the CNW Peninsula Div. This thread will chronicle my progress.

These 3 are the way it looked before the changes.P2023120.JPG P2023121.JPG P2023122.JPG

Lower left structure

That structure is a Craftsmen kit from BTS - Better Then Scratch. If I remember correctly it is the Signal Maintainers shed. The actual building is a plastic - "Old Passenger Car" converted to a work/storage shed.

Open House

Hey Kevin,

I am always open to showing off the layout, but since I am not a NMRA member anymore I am not allowed to participate in functions sponsored by them. So if you want to see the layout just get in touch with me off this site (richhard444cnw@gmail.com) and we can set something up. Thanks for the interest.
