Get some Tichy brick chimneys to make the pillars for the car port.

Finished up track side of the station with roof overhang supports/beam and railing across the top of stairs.



Picked up 2 decoders for my YorkRail GP15s, here's their first revenue run taking some M88A2s and Bradley IFVs back to Lincoln Yard

Nice shingling job!

Trackwork was finished in Porters Sideling today, connecting the double wye to the CSX main.  Extending trackage to Smiths Siding will allow me a run around for the upcoming open house/layout tours.

Are you going to include Dave Trone's in the "nothing" sections between scenes?

Probably not as much as I'd like to, there will be some.  Lots of big groups of trees to help break the scenes up. 

For example, end of storage siding at Spring Grove is less than 2' from the leg of wye at Porters

I like this organic design, reminds me of Lance Mindhiem's approach in the way it is laid out.

Why the alternation between foam and hardboard substrate?  Scenery considerations?

Haha, it's so funny to me: I can tell who watches "normal" TV in Maryland by their opinion of that guy.
For those of you not here, he was running for office and ran a ton of commercials (and lost, haha).

Since we've somehow cut normal TV commercials (the Kapuscinski house is a Youtube + Streaming one), I never saw a single one.

Now that I think about it... I wonder what exciting new products I'm missing out on, lol.

If you ever get the chance to stop by, do so.  Huge mushroom style design layout that probably has enough lumber in it to build a small home.  West Penn is a local model railroad in Glenville PA. It was founded by David Trone in 1996. It's a 2660 sq ft model train layout. A switching layout built in a mushroom design with a 26 scale mile mainline.  I know a couple people that can get you in the loop for a visit, or an ops session

Benchwork has been stretched to include Smiths Siding.  This is where CSX and YorkRail interchange traffic.  The siding is just over 8' long, enough to hold 25-26 cars give or take.  CSX drops YorkRail cars on the east end, while YorkRail drops cars for CSX on the west end.  If the siding is full, either can run a few "miles' down the line and drop cars at Porters Sideling, were there is room for another 10 cars or so on 2 sidings.
