Moving (Again!) to LA
Well..life moves fast sometimes, and even though I just moved, it looks like I'll be moving ot Los Angeles in the next few weeks.
I know the area fairly well, and with that knowledge is the understanding I won't have layout space (at least not for the next 12-24 months). I'm wondering two things, that maybe MRH members can help me with.
1. Is there a club in the area? I'll be looking to live south of LAX, Hermosa/Redondo Beach, Torrance area.
Coal Loader Part 5, Update
I've put my project on hold due to we are buying a home. So you know what that means. Packing up the trains and layout. The Good news is the new place will give me a bit more room. So hopefully I will finish this project by years end.
Todays update is the first stage of assembling to Crane assembly.
I love doing scenery! (Another quick layout update)
Just a quick update on the recent work on the "Black n' Blue" I had posted some pics in my last blog update of what I called "The Ridge" and over this weekend I managed to complete some more work on it and the result is shown below. I've included a couple of the "before" pics that were already shown just to show the evolution of the scene so far.... I love doing scenery!

I decided to post this as a separate blog entry from my ongoing updates because I am pretty happy with how it came out. My two practice attempts on scraps definitely helped because now that I did the real thing I am keeping it. I'll post one photo here and the rest in a reply.
Update on the Colorado Front Range Railroad
A little different this time I talk about about how we are going about laying track. I have some question about RR-cirkits watchmen and a few thanks going out to two gentlemen who have help my out on photos the last two weeks.
