How does one delete a blog. I see the option to make private but not delete?

All the Mistakes I've Made
I've learnt from yours, please learn from mine
Using TOMA to build a layout is a great approach because it allows you to make all your mistakes on one module, rather than your entire railroad. And while I'd like to think that I learnt from the mistakes of others, please let me share with you some of my own.
Testing awesome New Techniques at the Front of the Layout only to realise I am not awesome at it yet and should probably practice elsewhere
Walthers Cornerstone Mountain Lumber Co Build
I rarely ever break out of my comfort zone of wood kits. As I was packing/moving my shop to the new studio I found a few boxed treasures sitting on my "other stuff" shelf.
Adventures in N Scale
After my HO scale CFNR layout sat and collected dust for a couple years, I decided to give some mainline action of the modern day BNSF in Arizona a try. After researching parts of the Seligman Sub and the Phoenix Sub, I was intrigued by the Kingman, Az. area and the entire Phoenix Sub. I picked up a couple locomotives and pieces of rolling stock to test my weathering skills in such a small scale and saw some success. I next built a 1'x4' diorama set in the Arizona desert and again saw some success.

Protecting the Richlawn Railroad room
I've spent so much time focusing on my Richlawn Railroad layout that I had overlooked the very important fact that I haven't protected the room. We live in Florida (the Hurricane state - NOT the sunshine state) and we had a hurricane hit our area (central Florida) last year. During the last hurricane we lost some shingles and our outdoor garbage can enclosure so it wasn't that bad.

CR&N in the 60s (or so)
This is my first post on my Coeur d'Alene Railway and Navigation (CR&N) layout, currently under construction in sunny West Texas. The layout (see attached plan) is 9 feet by 4.5 feet on two 18 inch shelves. I built the benchwork from 3/4 birch plywood and mounted it to the walls in my train room. I used 1 inch foam over 1.4 inch plywood for my decking. All the track is down, and most is ballasted. I have got some basic scenery roughed in, and have building low profile buildings for industries.
