A new place for the webcam
As I'm installing a soft valance I moved the webcam from high up in a corner of the layout to the center of it.
Just high enough for me to walk under and low enough for it to see under the valance.

USMRCWA Layout Takes Shape
About 10 months ago I wrote about our club (US Model Railroad Club of Western Australia) having to demolish our old layout and moving to a new location (see http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/6216).
EBT Fall Spectacular 2012
As you may know, the prototype East Broad Top didn't operate this year which also means that there won't be the annual Fall Spectacular. I wrote a 'what if' article for my website depicting a ficticious 2012 Fall Spectacular. All of us EBT fans are hoping that things get resolved and everything is up and running in 2013.
I hope you will enjoy it. It's at: http://royhoffman.com/pwrr/fallspec
I LOVE MY OIL CANS
today i decided to take a break from building stuff & do another test run with a tank train. a pair of kato dash 9's have the assignment. tank cars are MDC & Atlas. my daughter was the engineer for this run. she totally freaked out when the train hit a dead spot & came to a screeching halt.
the train is picked up just west of Mobest yard & passes through north Phoenix, south Glendale, central Glendale ( intermodal yard) north Glendale, Peoria & the Aqua Frea bridge ( a dry river bed)

N&W Steam Cabride on Virginia Southwestern RR layout
This is my own personal layout and not a club layout. Thanks, Era is 1955 and it is proto-freelanced.

Layout visit
Ok, last try :
In two weeks time now, myself and a group of 5 other Norwegian model railroad enthusiasts are traveling to the US to visit the east coast, and different railroad related sights in and around New York, Washington, Maryland, Pennsylvania etc.
My dream is to be able to visit a couple of nice home layouts during our stay. Are there any layout tours in the period between the 4th and the 12th of October? Or would anyone here like to welcome us into their home for a brief visit?
