IMC Intering Kokomo, North bound
A look at the IMC (Indianapolis, Michigan City) line of the Nickel Plate entering south side of Kokomo, Indiana on my version. Oops that train is leaving town, just past where the gas tower of Kokomo Gas will set.
This pic was taken late fall of 2014, have now finished the grade down to the stagging that is on the peninsula on the left
Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad - Steam Loco Run By Video 5-12-15
Last week I got to visit Michael Rose while he was recovering from his recent health issues and started my visit as usual on his back porch having coffee and delicious cake (sorry no pictures) with Michael and his wife.

Port of Morehead City- Long Overdue Update

It's interesting seeing how the TT&TO progresses as the layout gets ever larger and closer to completion.
As you duck under the rails crossing the entrance, all the new construction hits you in the face:

Loop around my layout
Here is a video ride around my layout. I used a Go Pro which is a bit wider than a few spots on the layout. A bit of editing to speed up the journey. Enjoy.

We Now Have Track!!! (School Club Beginnings)
After a short wait I have great news. Over the weekend I received the first donations for our school layout. They are an extremely generous amount of products from Augusta Track creator of a modular track system (website link: http://www.augustatrack.com/)
