Finely finished the covered bridge last night so I
put it in place this evening and gave it a run. Nice project and
plans from Garden Texture. Looks Great on the layout! When
I have the time I will do a little write up with additional pictures.

Also added another siding to service my station this
evening. It gives us another place to park our locomotives
during a steam-up as well.

Water in the Back Yard!"

Lots of stuff going on since my last update.
The Pool Expansion is well under
way, a new tunnel has been built
and some major landscaping has been
completed on the original section of the layout. Check it all
out!

didn't update the website tonight. Want to see shots of how the
expansion is going? Take a look.

member, Tom, who was out running the other day. Check
them out.

What do you see? A pool? I see a 1,250
sq/ft Railway Empire Expansion with a observation deck and a
pond. How's that for an active imagination! See the "What
Now" section for some minor details.

Actually got to go out and work on the layout for 3 hours
tonight. Got a bit cold but it felt good to get back at
it. I put the Tunnel Support back in place so check my update to
the Lumber, Portals and Walls page

For those into Live Steam, what do you think about Accucraft's
new line of Locomotives? They are indicating they will have
C-16s, a Shay, 2-4-2 Ruby #4, a Forney Ruby #5, a Heisler and a
K-27. This is great for the Live Steam people and the
"G" Scale hobby in general.

Free time is starting to swing my way again and my thoughts are back
to trains. I have made a few changes to the layout

My first disaster but only a minor one! The same tree that has
been falling into the neighbors yard decided to make a deposit on the
layout. It only has one limb left and I hope to cut that out
before it does some real damage. Images: Another
Damage shot. A test
run with Ruby.
