Best detail I've found yet of the Minot freight depot frontage.
Been a while since I updated, but I've been spending the past week and a half learning the finer points of Fast Tracks fixtures. I always found N...
Finally got the years cork finished, and got the primary main glued down, wired, and tested. One of my DCC vampires was apparently assembled...

Finally, actual progress! Got a sheet of 3/4" plywood cut down into strips the right size, and have got the lengths worked out so that I can piece...
