Keith Thompson has passed away

Fri, 2014-06-20 20:00 — Bill Brillinger

I am sad to report that long time friend of Model Railroaders everywhere, Keith Thompson, passed away on Monday.

Lionel Strang has posted a touching note on his facebook page.

Keith was a great influence to my participation in the Model Railroad community, not only through his writing, but also his encouragement as I worked on several projects for Model Railroader in the early 90's.

Keith will be missed.

The Friendship Train of 1947

It started in Hollywood, California - my town. Rolling down Hollywood Blvd. in 1947. This was a post-WWII relief train. I felt it appropriate during this time of rememberance - Memorial Day 2014 - to post this bit of little known history.

Resulted in three trains, each of about 100 freight cars, cross-country to the ports on the eastern seaboard from where the goods were then transported. I was reminded of this when seeing it today on TCM. I direct you to sources of information:

Stuck in the details?

Anybody else have the problem on when to "move on" or know when "enough is enough" working on your layout? I constantly have that problem especially when working on landscaping or building structures. Recently I've been foresting the hills next to the backdrop and while adding additional layers / details improves the look I feel like I'm "stuck in the details" and should be moving on.
