My first module

Sat, 2015-12-05 16:57 — steve888

This is my first module. The first tentative steps beyond just collecting.

This module is a mainline through a tunnel over a small bridge beside a stream in the mountains. Inspired by Pelle Soeborg. Hopefully it will look like a piece of the Canadian Rockies.

My first module - progress

These are how it was looking a few week ago after I'd completed the first ground cover layers.

I was inspired to add some more scenery by a recently discovered artifact from my previous layout.

I hear so much about operations but was just wondering if there are any like me. I just enjoy just watching trains run, building rolling stock and working on scenery. I've been involved in operations but at times it's like watching grass grow. Maybe I'm missing something ?

Busy Weekend

Mon, 2015-11-23 09:43 — mesimpson

It was a busy weekend in our house between kids activities and sleepovers, regular household duties and having some visitors over. Between all of that activity I managed to get the DCC booster and transformer moved to their permanent home on a shelf under the layout. I found an old shelf from a home entertainment center that was not being used for anything to house the electronic gizmos.
