The MRH forums are set up for Blogs. Quite a few there also.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

You do have to look a little harder in General Discussion for the build threads. There are more of them percentage-wise in Layouts and Layout Building.

My Cascade Branch build is here in GD: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/219241.aspx?page=1

As is my Night Scene thread: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/213765.aspx?page=1

This recent one on building layout extensions is over in L&LB: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/11/t/249387.aspx

So it's really how you feel about where it should go. I tend to put the more general projects here in GD and the more technical how-to stuff in L&LB. YMMV

Looking forward to your projects.Smile

Do an interesting post about your layout here, lots of people will see it.  You will get more traffic if you think up a good question begging title for your post.  Good photos help build interest.  Ask some questions, every body here loves to offer advice.  Most of it is pretty good advice.  People will comment on your post.  You can reply to comments, keeping things going.   You can post on the "Layouts and Layout building" section, but this section gets more readership.

Is there a place here for build blog/threads? Or do those not really happen much here? I'm interested in creating one so I can receive feedback as I build my first layout.
