Update

It has been a very long time since I have posted an update.  I have been working on the railroad off and on lately, but progress has been slow.  I have removed the temporary roadbed placed during initial mainline construction over the area that is to be the Green River and replaced it with an Atlas steel girder bridge.  I will post pictures of the project when I have a complete set. 
That's it for now!

A New Hobby??? Say it isn't so!

Oh, it be so!  The train room is now a multi-purpose room... well at least dual purpose.  I recently got involved in a new hobby, Radio Controlled Airplanes.  I am the proud owner of a Super Cub!

I have the plane assembled and ready for its first flight!  Unfortunately, the weather is less than favorable and the maiden flight will have to wait until Spring!

Work on the railroad continues (slowly), even with the new distraction.  Additional base scenery is in place in Walnut, Illinois, making that area of the railroad about 75% complete as far as base scenery is concerned.  The next major project on the radar is the construction of the bridge/trestle (not sure which to do) at the Green River.  This will involve not only the bridge itself, but also the surrounding embankments, riverbed, and Woodland Scenic water.  Stay tuned for updates and pictures of this exciting project!

Thanks for visiting!
Happy Railroading!
