Manns Creek Narrow Gauge in On3
Welcome to my first entry for what will be the blog on my new Manns Creek Railway in On3. I started build in On30 a little more than 10 years ago as a diversion from working in HO scale. At the time I had built a fictional railroad in HO scale called the Roanoke and Southern, which was featured in the May 2010 issue of MR. by the time my article was published is was firmly hooked on O scale narrow gauge.

CNW Marshline Update: Yes I'm still alive, I've been doing room prep!
Hey Everyone,
I've been away for a while. Work, life and indecision have left me not making much progress on the model railroad. Lots of things just popping up preventing me from getting to the workbench or just working on the railroad. I just couldn't get moving on my modeling. So I took a small break...
Compact Work Stations / tray modelling / and Temporary set ups.
Thought i would start a discussion on compact work stations.
As we all begin to spend more time inside im faced with the fact that my office / modiling station is now being used for my partners study as classes and lectures have moved online and my other possible work site is now my work station as i hav transition to working from home.
This leaves me with the lack of a worksite / workbench.
Im thinking this weekend will be making a Tv work station / tray like an onld Tea tray to continue some form of modeling through the coming weeks.

How Stock Market Crashes Might Affect Future Model Train Purchases, (warning, evolved into many virus discussions)
We've seen some pretty radical downgrades in the stock market these past few days.
Just wondering how it might effect our hobby buying habits, etc
***********************************************
Addendum:
I tried to keep the conversation focused on how the stock market might affect out model train hobby,...but of course we have the flu situation that is driving the market, so lots of flu discussions.
Give me your opinion of work in progress
This the work of a old man, trying to stay in the hobby. Positive comments are appreciated .Will post more if there is interest
