Repurposing Structures
I wanted to include a Yard office on this portion of my layout and looked a few online and then I remembered that the wife had scored me a box of what I think is some older Marklin structures on Craigs List.
So I pulled the box out of the closet and found what I think would make a neat office. Although it is a little more modern than some of the other structures I plan on using, I figure it could be a stage of the layout that has gone through a little modernization and show some progress.
Fort J Railroad
I retired recently and found myself with lots of time so decided several months ago to start model railroading again after a long hiatus. I really appreciate the easy access to a broad range of knowledge now available and certainly have benefited from this forum! I decided to post my modest attempts as it too may help others (They may even say—‘ gee—glad I didn’t try that!’)
Mulling
I was responding to MLW's Canadian post and kind of went off on a bit of a tangent, but had already typed it out, so I thought I'd create a new blog post about it since it was already written!
Mounting the water tower
Worked on installing the water tower today.
First mounted it on a piece of foam core as a base and painted a base coat of earth color. I used foam as foundation for small hill and will add to it and cover with vegetation later.
When I first put it in place was a bit to close as the fill pipe would hit the engines, and had to move it back a bit.
The St. Lawrence Railroad (SLRR)
Here's the first of hopefully many posts documenting the build of SLRR.
It's a freelanced layout loosely based on industries that I grew up around on the CN Kingston Sub in Ontario, Canada.
The track plan is a series of industrials spurs on a short-line that connects to the CN Kingston Sub via staging.
Yes, it's a model

Scale Model Animation 9: Sequencing, Updates & a Challenge
Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry includes a video presenting ideas for animation sequencing, project updates, and a new DCC controlled, passenger coach animation. There's also a challenge for you to guess where my next project runs!
