I'm working on my first layout. Started January 1, 2005. That's official. I spend the 4 months preceeding that reading MR and everything on the web I could. I dreamed of layout and loco's. I built my benchwork the first weekend of 2005. Spent the next couple weeks trannsferring a track plan to the track bed. Since then I have been full steam ahead...no pun intended. This weekend I will be blasting the upper and lower tunnels on the west end of my 8x4 Rocky Shores Rail Road (R.S.R.R.). In real terms this means I'll be constructing the foam tunnel walls and installing them. I started out with this layout following Dave Frary's plan for the Cactus Valley RR. Immediately following the completion of the trackbed, I have gone into full customization mode. Because of errors in measurement and the fact that it is not exactly the same size I am now "capitalizing on opportunities" in my layout. The learning curve is huge, but I having lots of fun and find the whole process very relaxing. Summation: 2005 will be spent bringing the Rocky Shores Rail Road to life. Sadly, I already have plans for expanding the layout in 2006! But ain't that just thenature of the beast? Trevor "I swear some day I'll get a really cool tag line."
