Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

Postwar Paul - I try my hardest to keep my trackwork away from the layout edges, and the Abington canal pieces (Dept 56/Dickens Village) lend themselves to being great foreqround scenery.  I was able to trim the curved sections with an electric tile saw.

Here is what I have been working on, need to find my small paintbrushes so I can apply the Gulf decals which will go on this.

I'm always on the lookout for accent pieces to add on the layout.  Returning from a train show this winter, the guys wanted to stop at an indoor flea market to check out some tables.  Full disclosure:Fifey didn't want to go.  I was only in the building 30 seconds, and saw these two Dept 56 items: Dockside Stevedor and On the Boardwalk.  They look right at home in my canal boat basin.

 

Fascinating !!! I have always liked the canal boat theme, and have wanted to work it in somewhere, and you have already done it ! If you get to Syracuse, N.Y., they have an Erie Canal museum with beautiful models, as the Erie Canal went through Syracuse. Also, remnants of the C& O canal in D.C., with the locks. Worth seeing !!

The new Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash Railroad. 

The BO&W RR relocated it's headquarters from Rogers Corners, Ohio - Elev. 936 to Jelloway Creek, Ohio - Elev. 1,100. Our new headquarters, unlike our old HQ is well lighted and not cramped for storage.
