The Air Force unit I work in (and usd to be active duty in) is once again building a train layout to raffle off the base charity around the holidays. This is the 7th such one we've built, some HO and some N scale. This year we we're lucky to have Dave Vollmer join the unit and his talents are being used for the layout. We are building a 36" x 80" N scale, modern day Omaha area (Offutt AFB is just south of Omaha) layout. We only work on it about one day a week and are waiting for some supplys. We wanted to take the opportunity to share its construction with you. I will post pictures as we make progress.

The crew has the door painted and nearly all of us have managed to get black paint on out hands! The crew is (left to right) me (Ricky), Dave, Ron and Lou...Larry is taking the picture.
The foam has been attached and painted over the weekend, this is Tuesday night and I am laying out the curves with a homemade trammel

Standing around admiring our work this evening, really we're telling war stories and watching glue dry!
The grain elevator, Dave built it, we're all just itching to start switching it!
I will post a layout diagram when I get it scanned in. Of course we already modified it.
