Been some time since I have updated this topic. Still been enjoying operating the layout however have not had much time to do any real modelling other than some weathering. I have decided to model two eras, 80's and steam transition so will have two different eras on the same layout will just swap out cars etc to reflect which era i am operating. For the transition era I have a 2-6-0 mogul, a couple of GP9's and have just ordered a 2-8-0 consolidation. Here are a few pics of the mogul I weathered recently.
Been a wile since I have been here but I am back. The layout is back operational here are a few pics Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Am also deciding g on whether to extend the layout to the original design across the door and into the alcove Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d say go for it Paul, I’m about to extend my layout into a closet to add more switching. BTW, it’s nice to see you back, I’ve always enjoyed your pictures. Dale
Welcome back Paul! I always love your photos! Also, like Dale said - go for the expansion - it looks manageable.
