I did a screenshot of a magazine article I read last night in Model Rail. The UK model magazines have some clever techniques.

The magazines and this website are full of articles and postings of some exceptional modelers.  I am not one of them.  My layout building journey started nine years ago.  My skills have improved, but in retrospect my layout was a failure and turned into the Plywood Pacific.  In this blog I will start posting my thoughts as a renew my enthusiasm for the hobby.

 I'm not really using a chainsaw. I stared pulling the structures and details off the layout for reuse. This cleared up a section that was ready to be torn out. There was some sawing and pounding. My wife came down and asked me if I was sad. I said no this was a good thing. She left and came back a little while later to remind me to take a break I was getting frustrated.

Happy New Year, one and all!!!  Last year (as in January, 2018), I began assembling my IHC 2018 Electrical Substation kit. My assumption is that I'm unique in doing such things, dropping a project midway to go off and begin about a dozen or so other ones before returning to the first.  Usually all goes well, this time a little hitch has happened. essentially the final step, the addition of a framework located over the majority of the substation area.  A number of insulators (counts to be 60) are to be attached to the sides of the frames into 85 pre-drilled holes.
