Thanks guys for the positive comments. Much appreciated. I've been busy clearing out the add-on room in preparation for it's eventual dismantling. Once that major task is completed I'll have a better idea of what space the new laundry/mudroom will occupy and where to locate the new layout in relatio...

Thanks guys. We split on amicable terms. Unlike my first divorce from my high school sweetheart, this one was a non-event. We'd become more like roommates instead of being a husband & wife team. Once I have the add-on portion of the house dismantled I'll have a clearer picture of how things will...

It's been several months since I last checked in with ya'll. Lot of changes have occurred in my life. The wife unit and I are now history and divorced. Strike two for me... don't foresee there ever being a third woman in my life that I slip a ring onto her finger... or at least I hope not to do. As ...

Nice.

Thanks Rod. I've always enjoyed operating a Mexican backhoe. Good therapy. Of course these days as I'm moving dirt I tend to have my four chickens underfoot looking for whatever edible critter is unearthed. They're a riot.

I'm also planning on a few structures/industries being built to give the railroad a purpose. The Deltang components need to go into a module that can be tran...

Thanks everyone. It's all good on the domestic side. This has been rodeo #2. I'm thinking from this point onward I'm going to avoid women. Very little benefit/reward of having one in my life. :) As far as the bridge design, it will likely be a simple curved trestle. I don't tend to follow prototypic...

It's been some time since the last update. Warmer weather has finally arrived here in central Oklahoma, which means I can get outside again and start puttering around on the railway. The last update back in December had me starting to dig a pathway along the north side of the layout to minimize havi...

I support the idea even though I wouldn't be submitting photos myself.

Rik, not yet. Still have to perform some repairs on the bike. And winter arrived since the accident.
