An Update... of sorts.

Greetings-
Based on the last date that I updated this blog, it has been over one year of inactivity.  While the blog postings have been missing, work on the Dragonfly Sub has continued, slowly.  I have been working on the following items in no specific order:
  • Masonite Scenic divider for Walnut, Illinois.
  • Removal of the industries (E.W. Houghton Lumber Co. & Eclipse Lawn Mower Co.) at La Moille, Illinois.
  • New scenery constructed in the area of La Moille, town has been eliminated from the modeled portion of the railroad.
  • Working on laying track to two new industries (oil company and lumber company) in Prophetstown.
  • Installed a mirror at the staging yard (Mendota, Illinois).
  • Revised the layout of the town at Walnut, Illinois (on-going process)
  • Continued to work on building new structures.
  • Continued to swap out plastic wheels for metal wheels on freight cars.  Estimate about 60% complete.
In future posts, I will examine each of these points in detail with photos and more discussion.  A quick update but an update none the less!
