Highway bridge is installed.  Still working on some of the details, but the highway is aligned, and the surrounding scenery is roughed in.




Looks like a snow day today...  Should get some more done.  Also have a couple of decoder jobs to catch up.

Santa delivered with a Home Depot gift card. Out our way 24.00 is the
cheapest Masonite HCD 36x80. I really need to go to the Habitat for Humanity
used store. Pink foam is slim pickens, but they do have 1" 2x8 sections
for 7.00.

Very smart looking, Richie.

I agree! I'm glad she turned out so well. It's an odd looking engine with the big stack and the extended smokebox, but that is a damn fine model of it!

Just finished setting up the modutrak layout for a little holiday running. Decided to do endloop returns this time instead of a loop.
