Looking for a Steam Powered Rock Crusher for the Yacolt Branch
This evening I posted a a new blog topic on the county owned rock crusher that generated traffic for various locations on the Yacolt Branch and Clark County.

The New CB&Q in Wyoming
I have spent the past several months while awaiting retirement (end of March next year) planning my new layout.
After running through configuration after configuration, I think I finally have it down. It combines a walk-around plan with a partial mushroom.
Pretty much all aspects of the design are still open to adjustment, and if anyone has any ideas - any at all, be they off-the-wall, tried-and-true, pure conjecture or anything else, I'd like to hear them. I'm always open to improvements!
Questions: Plywood Benchwork for TOMA modules
Hi all,
I am close to beginning tearing down my current layout and starting out the new one using the TOMA concept. Following good advice i got from other threads, i decided on using a kreg jig and 3/4" plywood strips for the open-grid benchwork. I ll build 7 modules (which will end up being key modules in my future layout / home ).
Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you everyone for being here and making this lone wolf feel part of a larger community of like-minded individuals.
Thank you for being polite when my occasional rants are so opinionated that a contrary POV seems pointless.
Thank you for differing point of view and posting your modeling, your techniques, and your inspiring works.
Thank you for the friends made here and hope that we may meet in person one day.
West Haven Industrial Rwy. : Re-envisioned
I had posted and it was discussed a track plan for the West Haven that would include an around the walls concept not unlike the Heart of Georgia layout that was inspired by one of Trevor Marshall's achievable layouts he describes on his blog. As the planning progressed, I massaged it into something I didn't want to build. It lacked the portability I wanted and exceeded my thoughts of simplicity.
