My resolutions:

  1. Get my roundhouse rebuilt.
  2. Finish some scenery
  3. Get Casper far enough along to move it into place and start on the connecting benchwork.
 

But Mark, this is about a new YEAR's resolution.  At the efficient pace you work, those things will take you about a week.

Tell us what you want to accomplish in the other 51. Big Smile

My goal is to get my Black Hawk Colorado scene finished. Besides the scenery work I still have a mining area to do as well as some trackwork/ ballasting (I still have a bunch of balasting to do in the rest of the layout too) I also have a cut away portion of a stamp mill to build that will be an extensive scratchbuilding project. (The station is scratchbuilt)

 Black Hawk needs a bunch of casinos. No trains when I was there, except for a posed one outside the Grand Z casino, but technically that was Central City. Oh yeah, there was a loco posed in the parking lot of the Lady Luck casino too. Laugh
