<p>Lunchtime!</p> <p>Flo, steak, baked potato & salad, please. Add a mug of coffee.</p> <p>A drab day. It´s been raining endlessly the past days. On Friday we had slurry with it, making the roads slippery. Winter shows its bad face this year, making me feel "lonely and blue".</p> <p>With that new loco hopefully showing up soon, I thought I need to give it a place to run. My shelf layout is good for those EMUs, but not for a hard working Hudson pulling a 6-car excursion train. I still have that old hollow core door up in the attic, so I toyed with some ideas on how to make good use of that for a layout base. I still don´t know where to store a "real" layout without getting more than just a frown from Petra. If I put it on casters and move it out of the way whenever the room needs to be free of it - maybe that could be a way.</p> <p>Here is my first rough idea:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ENTWURFh.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>It is a "double-face" layout with two different scenes. One is a suburb station, and the other one a mountain scene. Both scenes are clearly separated by backdrops employed a scenic dividers. I am not fully happy with it, but it is a starting point for more thoughts.</p> <p>Jeff - I do care about how you feel! Hope you are better today!</p> <p>Have a good one!</p>
