It's been far too long between updates and there has been a lot of progress.

Firstly there is a stream now.

The Story of Chuck Baker and his River Valley Railroad. Starts a little slow but it is a great watch and insight into how a railroad is done.

Resurrected the benchwork from the old On30 layout. Splotched some clouds onto the backdrop to cover the defects. Tired of sanding and still not being able to get the paint to match in those areas.

Got a good deal on the package of HO Kato Unitrack for the for the Model Railroader's  Black River Junction layout about four years ago.

Found that the track can be painted to look like narrow gauge track.

I find it interesting that the topic of selling a layout or house with a layout is at a relative forefront.  In the past I’ve marveled at how a car or a motorcycle have depreciated in a very short time to a very small amount.  I began to realize long ago that artsy things like paintings and model railroads were sold for pennies on a dollar of their “time” worth.  Selling a home with a Model Railroad included is no more than a hallucination.  Not there,,,,,,,,,,,yet..........
