Those of you who have read some of my post know that I'm a dyed in the wool freelancer. You also know that I don't really "get" the fascination that some guys have with modeling particular prototypes down to an exact blade of grass.  When guys start off a description of their layout with something akin to " I'm modeling the second subdivision of the fourth division of the ninth galaxy of XYZ railroad on Oct.15th 1955 at 12:01 PM when the temperature was 58 degrees and the relative humidity was"...blah blah blah....  it sort of irritates me.

I've been posting here for a bit now so I thought maybe it was time to upload some pics  of the progress I've made on the benchwork for my new HO layout. Nothing fancy here, just the spare bedroom I've been given rights to for my layout and my computer and ham radio station plus my layout. I've built three different N scale layouts in here to varying levels of completion with the last being ripped out  because I decided to make the switch to HO. This used to be my daughters room, hence the pink walls.

I will be doing more with GILA GRAINS soon.  So might as well post some photos of were it is today and some past photos too.

Well, this is the beginning of the blog to track my progress of an N-scale endeavor.

Three road names of Western Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.

As you can see the pics show the layout as a round the room...the duck under was low enough that my dear wife whacked her head three times in a row in less than a 5 minute time span, no joke.  So I, yes I, decided to move it, because it was built to move, to the garage for a while.
