Here in the northeast we have old man winter to contend with so the garage layouts tend to go idle. I am in the basement beavering away from the end of Oct. to Feb. when my season(s) begin again. I can't wait to get off the road and back at it on a more regular basis. Got a summer full of plans and sketches to turn into a railroad. J.R.

Now that winter is coming and it is getting colder and I wont be able to work on my garden railroad as much, I will be doing a lot of work on the model railroad. Over the past few months I have accumulated a lot of ideas and I am ready to get to work. I have a lot of engines and rolling stock on eBay just waiting for me to bid on too. I will let you guys know on the progress I make through Weekend Photo Fun.

I can't work in my garage. It would be too hot in summer and too cold in winter. That is, if I HAD a garage! LOL
My layout and workbench are in a spare bedroom, fully air conditioned year 'round! Don't ask me why I don't get more done on the layout with ideal conditions like this. Posting here and on other forums is why I don't get much done, PERIOD!!!
Darrell, posting but quiet...for now

I will be spending more time in the basement finishing a 4x16 foot layout,that is on 2 separate boards(4x8's),that are joined by a wye and a bridge.I have temporarily stopped building as I am in desperate need of good switches and flex track,for the phase 2 of the layout,which will serve a paper mill,chemical plant, a yard,a cement and asphalt plant,as well as a paper converting warehouse. These items I will be getting from Trainfest in West Allis,Wi.,on November 12 &13th of this year. if any of you plan to come,stop by the CNWHS booth.I'll be there,and my name is Andrew.
