Designing a One Town Hawaiian Railway
Inspired by the one town layout concept, I want to explore what can be done in my space using On30 locomotives and rolling stock to represent a very small portion of the OR&L (Oahu Railway & Land Company).
Please share your thoughts and sketches!
I’ve added a “dream space” to keep in mind while developing the first module for future use in a layout. 3/24/18

And now for something completely different...
When I'm not in the basement working on my layout I'm at the desk navigating these forums. Sometimes I get the train itch when I'm not home like my lunch break or the waiting room at the doctor's.
What train games do you play on your phones?
I used to play Pocket Trains and Tiny Rails. Looking for something new perhaps a Railroad Tycoon/Sim City.
What’s on your workbench?
I’m starting to think about home. What is on my workbench? Cleaned up before leaving.... Gotta rely on your pictures and thoughts!!!
Let’s go!!! Have a good!!!

I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look.

When I last posted I had just completed adding rocks to the newest section of my layout. I flew to CA for vacation on 12/27 and am still here now in LA on business until Feb. Of course that means I don't get to work on the layout but before I left I took a few more photos to share after I had colored all the remaining white plaster with Woodland Scenics earth pigment. It really makes a huge difference. Even without grass or trees the layout starts to look more realistic.
