Layout tour
Emporia Sub - Argentine Yard (Engine Facility)
I've always been fascinated by engine facilities in yards. When I designed this layout, I wanted something that was eye-catching when you entered my basement so I decided to put Argentines locomotive facility at the entrance. The locomotive shops are about 14' long adjoining the rest of Argentine Yard which is roughly 35' long.

Richlawn RR - Progress video - from Start to March 2016
It occurred to me that it's not easy to understand a layout from the multiple postings on the forum. That's not the fault of the forum, but just the "nature of the beast". After watching other modeler's progress videos I thought that I'd produce one for my Richlawn Railroad. The video is 12 minutes long and covers from the very beginning to March of this year. I hope that you enjoy it!

March - Progress slow but sure
March update, got all my orders for various needed scenery material, local hobby shop for the Woodland Scenics stuff, Eurorail in Canada for the small scenery stuff, Scenics express for the major stuff, Eurotrain Hobbies for the weird stuff (Fleischman ballast for mainline) & of course a shout out for e-bay for the electrical parts & odd building material no one carries anymore.
The Super Chief - First Complete Run around the N-Scale ATSF Paradigm Division
The layout is now operational and full passenger and freight trains can now be run in both the westbound and eastbound directions and to and from the staging level. The project to complete the area inside of the east helix that will house the engine facility and coach yard is now in the planning stage.
Roundy, round and then some - adding a switching module.
So when you don't really have the room to dedicate to a permanent layout and are given a decent little roundy, round my a fellow forum member, how do you make it a little more enjoyable than seeing 6 car trains doing circles?
You build a #6 18/24 curved turnout so you can connect a switching "module".
Feb 2016-3 - Siskiyou Line open house, part 2
Joe Fugate’s Siskiyou Line is over two decades old, but for the past three years he hasn’t had the opportunity to do much work on it. In part two of this feature, guests attending a National Model Railroad Association convention arrive to tour the layout and Joe holds a special operating session for a handful of convention attendees. If you missed part 1, you can watch it here.
Layout build progress... Introduction
I never started a blog before but here goes... I am going to use the blog just to throw stuff out there, and see what sticks. Sort of my own "build progress thread". Comments and suggestions are welcome. And happy to answer any questions- can't say I am doing things right but willing to share anything and everything.
A bit of background.
