The Missabe's "New" Bridge At Elwood

In 1916, the Missabe was busy enough that it and the general public could no longer tolerate a grade crossing north of Proctor, the town of the Missabe’s main shops and yard.  The station name was Elwood, although it never was a depot, but rather became the site of the Proctor ore scales.

Playing with a few things..

I have not posted progress in a while and defiantly did not accomplish my goal for this year. I have had major health issues for going on 8+ months and can barely get to work little own do anything on the layout.  Still not in good shape but the Dr. wants me do do something more than sit & read or play games on the computer.

So.....

Progress Update # 3 - Main & Third Level Construction & Electrical Planning

The rough-in of the main and third levels has been completed.  The full size paper design has been glued down on plywood, cuts made for planned scenery features, and risers put in place to raise the levels to their appropriate height. The first video shows what the overall layout will look like to include some final old-school hand-drawn track center adjustments made to some planned bridges near the city of Paradigm (see layout diagram below).

Michael Rose's Georgetown & Allen Mountain RR run-through 12/5/14

Some of you had requested some video of Michael's layout with trains running.  This video isn't great quality but it does show a passenger train running on Michael's N scale layout and it's looking good!

 

The New TSR rises.......

How time fly's.... In May I started taking down the old TSR. It stands now as an empty room painted in a neutral color, ready for the hew owner of the house. I will post a few pics soon.

On Sept 2 we moved into the new house and on Sept 9th I took the big pile of wood that I had salvaged from the old layout and re-started again. Sorry, no track plan yet, though I do have a vision I am working toward. 

Here is my first 90 days of effort, combining new and old wood into the new bench work
