Dear Trains.com bretheren, <br /> <br />I am happt to announce that I have purchased a Bachmann "Gold Rush" <br />Train Set and am now saving up for their new Porter and Mogul. As well as LGB's porter and some leahmann toy train products. These will be kitbashed and detailed as time alows and as I become more interested in details. <br /> <br />I have come up with a plan for my railroad that will replace the one I first had. <br /> <br /> The first one used plastic track, had no building, plants and used rocks Collected from the driveway. Now I have taken up the plastic track, taken out the rocks, and filled in the trench that I had dug. <br /> <br />The railroad will be a basic oval with things to break up the sceane, a bride (wooden trestle) and a water feature. A couple of tunnels and soome track around abandoned tunnel portals are going to be in the Mountains. <br /> <br />I have com up with a design for a mountain line that will be added t a later date. I will notify you of my progress. By the way, I am using aristo-craft track and as my railroad will be set in the Smokey Mountains of tennessee (pigeon forge, seveirville, and Gatlinburg). As a real railroad never ran through the towns, I can use commercial buildings and free lance scratchbuilt buildings. <br /> <br />I have to go. <br /> <br />At a later date I will ad what I forgot to say. <br /> <br />Nicholas Parker
