I started a bit of dismantling of the trackwork in staging on Siskiyou Line one in late April and early May -- and then life circumstances intervened. I’ve had to put all layout activity on hold for the next several months.

The house isn't sold yet, a new one not yet bought, and I am spending a lot of time traveling from my soon to be former home in NH to my new office in Ohio.  It will probably at least another couple months before I have really fully moved.  But as moments allow, it is time for me to start planning the new layout.  I will be using this post to chronicle the research and planning stage as I consider what "NNEScenic 2" will model, to learn and research modular techniques, to work through planning software choices, and to come up with a plan for the new layout.&nbsp

OK I added a bit of weathering to the model to make it look worn and rundown. I used washes and powders to get the effect so far achieved. Next on to the smaller details and then to start the ground work.
