One thing working with my paperwork made abundantly clear...
is that I needed to install my crew workstation shelves.

So that's what I did today.

Eventually these will be come enshrouded by my fascia.

It really is amazing how quickly time passes! It has been almost 3 years since my last post - December 2011, I think.

Well, there is not much to report as far as layout progress, time, money and space are in short supply. I am pleased, however, with the completion (for the time being, I keep thinking of small details to add) of my coal mine model - you can get a little look at it in my photo attachment. Hopefully it isn't resized in such a way so as to take too much away.

I am sad to report that long time friend of Model Railroaders everywhere, Keith Thompson, passed away on Monday.

Lionel Strang has posted a touching note on his facebook page.

Keith was a great influence to my participation in the Model Railroad community, not only through his writing, but also his encouragement as I worked on several projects for Model Railroader in the early 90's.

Keith will be missed.
