Free-mo scratch built Roundhouse
I have owned & used lasers for more than 10 years. The business I was supplying closed. So now I can devote more into HO structures. I have completed quite a few, but sold them at swap meets, donated some to a local club, but now for myself.
No layout this time. This is something I wanted to do for quite awhile.

As a modular model railroader, I've met a variety of model railroad groups over the years. Some groups are very open and friendly while others aren't. Just the nature of human interaction, I believe.

I should roll over it with blue and start again, I have a deadline to get all the stuff out of or diner and back onto the new shelves being built under the bench work inside the train room.
Looks nothing like The South West or Arizona. This is on the north wall. Just under 27 feet of wall.
Trees free for the picking.
Ohio in the fall is often cold, hot, rainy, snowy, and beautiful, often on the same day. For me it is a chance to get out into the fields around my home to pick trees for the layout. For a little effort I can pick hundreds of reasonable, and free, trees in an hour. Compared to store-bought, they are more realistic and can vary from an inch to more than twelve inches in height. Their structure is delicate and represents late fall/early spring trees here in Ohio. The evergreens are nothing more than grasses hit with cheap hairspray and some ground foam. Eac

I have a lot of luck. Like really, I am one lucky guy. I have a small following and in that following are some very generous people. And in this project, I intend to meet their generosity in kind.

Making progress on the Sawmill Roof
In my last blog post i shared some pictures of my mill project.
After some inspiration i sat down this evening to tackle the next section of trusses. Im trying to get various roof angles and things for this project. the middle section i want the roof a little higher to allow better viewing from the layout edge.
I had made up the very first section as a skilion roof and then made the first truss of the next section.
The issue i come across in my planing is the height of the verticle on the left in the photo.
