Here's a quick YouTube video describing the current situation at the MRH Media HQ ... and why issue release was so late this month.

Includes photos of the storm damage ... it's not as bad as it could have been, but it's still not pretty.

Belated Happy New Year to all!  My January was spent with a blessedly mild case of Covid....14 day isolation and all.  My wife was exposed at work, and we both tested positive.  We are both fine and neither of us required hospitalization, so God blessed us on that front.

So needless to say between the holidays and isolation I have accomplished nill....My plans and research are now centered on Kansas and Oklahoma for a prototype, and I have decided to build a small shelf layout to start off.

Sitting around with nothing to do at around midnight so I made me some ICE Merchandisers

Even though I don’t run passenger equipment on any regular basis, I wanted to have an old station for my layout, it has seen better days, bit of modernization but retaining the old charm of days gone by. There are many station kits available to suit the design requirements, however a winter project with a little more involvement was what I wanted to get into. For inspiration I chose a CNoR third class station like one sitting in a field just a mile down the road here in Emo, Ontario. This, the old Barwick Station, was a perfect candidate.
