Layout tour
The Hudson Bay Railway operates on the Kettle Valley Railway
This past weekend I had opportunity to operate some trains on the Kettle Valley Railway http://kettlevalleymodelrailway.blogspot.ca/ . It is a really well done model railway with handlaid track, beautifully rendered scenery, smooth operating steam, passenger and freight equipment appropriate for the era and locale, all using time table and train orders to keep the traffic flowing.
Pokey Progress: Track Work Finally Completed! Photo Tour
After a couple years of work, I'm glad to announce the track work for my N&W Pocahontas District layout is finally complete! I still have to add ground throws for the turnouts, and wire the new track work (my favorite aspect of the hobby - NOT!) but it sure feels good to get to this point.
Final section of mainline being laid...
The Golden spike is driven! Let the celebration begin!
Horseshoe & Cottonwood Update #12
Another busy weekend getting ready for the regional layout tour. The facia was painted giving everything a semi-finished look:
The decks are painted alternating light and dark shades which converge at the entrance to the layout.

The wife and daughter of the owner of the Hotel California stopped by to see the progress on the yard work. She is seen here asking the foreman where the water pool is that she saw on the drawing plan. The answer she got was, "No Speakie Englass."
