Just a heads up, Trump has put a 20% import tax on lumber coming in from Canada. If you are planing on buying lumber for whatever reason get it soon. It won't take long for it to start going up.

Here's a Fiber Optic Cable post on the Portland & Western right-of-way in Tigard, Oregon. You certainly wouldn't want more than one like this on the layout!

Hi all,

Following interest on a previous topic of mine, where I presented an EMD E8m locomotive which had some of its weathering done using the salt weathering process / technique I prepared a "small" post presenting how I am employing this technique.

One problem with the open grid bench work that most of us use, it’s difficult to do any scenery below track level.  You can add hills/mountains but doing a canyon requires the track to be built on risers.  However, that requires some planning ahead.  What if you want to add a feature below the track level after you all already up and running with track work built on the grid.
