I did not do a lot of work on the layout through the summer, but I never stopped building stuff, specifically buildings. 
 

A couple of new houses for the town. Got to house the mine workers.

Here's an example of how the scenery crew on Tehachapi deals with variable scaling in each of the 3 dimensions.
1. A mockup of the scene at Rowen was created:

2. Topo maps were consulted to get the prototype contours and elevations.  The laminations in the partially competed scenery under the mockup only give a rough idea of these due to some of the foam being laid at an angle to the horizontal:

  This thread is about HObbyline Ho trains and sets from between 1953 to 1957, the years HObbyline was in the retail business. My collection of these trains, which are only Cataloged trains, is just about completed. I have no idea why it opens on page 2 and not the newest post. I can't change it so i live with it. The text and Photo's are displayed very nicely here. This is a good place for sharing information.

If you like this line of trains or see something you think wrong, please tell me.

Without getting into the pros and cons of Facebook. There is a group I follow closely called Micro/Small Model RR Layouts. https://www.facebook.com/groups/728920213839816/

One of the frequent contributors does up track plans on a regular basis and has some great ideas for small spaces. He's produced two free PDF books of his designs and they are available on the group. Excellent designs with 3D renderings so you get a good look at what they'll look like built.
