Weekly Update !Second try; the first disappeared when I hit refresh instead of spell check.A lot happened last week.I built three new wagons (one Jordan and two Musket minatures);[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/020907-009_r.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/020807-003_r.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/020807-001_r.jpg[/IMG]I have been operating with two 0-6-0 switchers (P2k w/sound).  With two major towns to service, separated by over 100' of main line, I had no safety factor in case one quit.  I "gambled" and ordered another from the cheapest on-line site (Train World).  The "gamble" paid off.  It will be re-badged as BAH RR # 14.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/020807-008_r.jpg[/IMG]I have had three "problem" areas, building wise, on the layout for some time.  I think that I may have solved the problems (thanks to just having the building sitting on the ground, not "planted").I moved the company houses from between the Hardspot engine house and hotel to become company houses at the Between mine.  I will add a couple more and build a freight house / dock for the large area behind the houses.  This should finish off the buildings for Between[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021007-004_r.jpg[/IMG]I have had three buildings in old town Hardspot that just looked out-of-place.  I moved these to the space vacated by the company houses.  the three story will become (top down) living quarters, Grubstake Mines headquarters (they own the silver mines on the layout), and headquarters for the Between, Arock and Hardspot RR.  The General store will remain the General Store with living quarters above.  The brick building will become a Tack and Saddle shop with living quarters above.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021007-001_r.jpg[/IMG]This leaves a big open space in old town Hardspot.  Next to the Sheriff office/jail; I will add the Ken Burns Coal and Fire Wood complex.  To the left of that will be a team track/dock.[IMG]http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/Alan_B/021007-003_r.jpg[/IMG]This should finish off the buildings in the three major communities.  What do you think ?  Did I -get-it-right this time ?
