Layout update.
Posted by SUX V R40 Rider on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 11:36 AM

When I last posted here I stated I was putting the layout build on hold for the time being because I have outdoor activities I take part in. Well I have figured out a way to do both model railroading and outdoor activities.

 

I have been back to constructing the HO scale Hy-Vee Savings Express modular/portable layout build for the past few weeks now. Not only am I making great progress on the layout itself but I am also modifying the locomotive and cars. The loco and all cars currently have cheap plastic horn hook couplers connected to the cheap plastic non-suspension trucks. They will eventually all have will have KD body mount couplers and either KD or Atheran suspension Bettendorf trucks.

Later today I will post an update on my model railroading blog with photos. The link is found in my profile.

I am always looking for feedback because I am new to this, so please by all means offer any advice you think is necessary.

Thanks.

I believe you need to put the blog link into your signature (edit your profile) if you want others to see it as the public profile doesn't contain that information.

Done, but how do I make it a click-able URL?
