Totally agree on the sideways sheet rock idea. Made life much easier for me finishing the train room as someone who had never before done drywall.

More progress in the basement !  Got most of joints taped and mudded a second finish coat yesterday, some was still a little soft this morning.  But this section was good and dry so on with the primer !



Also added to the freight car fleet today as well.  Being as I'm on night work this week, it just so happened to align with a huge N scale Stout auction that ran today.  I had initial bids on the lot below and another that had 16 coil cars in it.  That one went a little more than I was willing to spend, but I think my boxcar fleet is pretty much maxed out now

So my buddy and I took at trip to @Ed Kapuscinski house to check out his progress on the New Northern Central layout he's building.  I ended up coming home with the CSX Hagerstown yard for 3.0.  This was previously Ed's Windsor St yard and originally Lee Weldon's WM Hagerstown yard.



Now it's serious.  Local  :ashat: need to clear a Saturday or Sunday off their schedule in order to gather around for planning session !

It made it!

I'm so glad it's "home".

Couldn't ask for any better fit than that.

Even better than a real yard. No cutting the grass or trimming the edges needed.  :lol:

I still have the roundhouse, just in case you come to your senses and model a real railroad, and not that real estate company that only runs trains when it has to.

Lol

I actually have thought about that space and might be modeling the roundhouse just before demolition, broken windows, roof falling in, scrub brush/trees growing

Maybe a little more abandoned than this ?
