Cover up! - sort of a "Reverse Running"? about covering up your beautiful landscape work.
Why in the world would you want to cover up your beautiful perfectly acceptable landscape work? I mean, you put a great deal of effort into it and now you're going to partially cover it with other stuff? Great rock work, backgrounds, fences, structures, etc.. obscured for no good reason?
Hobby season has arrived
In just two weeks we went from 31 Celsius temperatures to snow. It is time to get back into the swing of things and get my layout going around the room.
now that my garage is built and I got all of me tools and garage junk out into the garage, I have room to continue building. First project is a work area. 6 and a half feet of desk to store stuff on. The layout will go over the desk to allow a continuos loop of track.
now to work on that portion of the track. More to come soon.

At the same time, I decided to adjust my model railroad prototype while keeping the central theme. I’ll explain everything that went into this and show what the layout looks now. I hope this post shows that you don’t need a large layout for your dream layout and that small layouts can be fun to build and operate as well.

A bit of silliness for those who like to be silly - Master Railroad Modeler
I don’t have the necessary model railroad skills nor desire to try and attain the NMRA’s Master Model Railroader certification. I’m a supporter of the NMRA and the program; however, I do have a silly streak so……………..
