A little Celebration!

The Golden Spike!

Well sort of, it's more of a silver colour. Anyways tonight marked the completion of all trackwork on the layout. Now to climb under and connect all those leads.

Some Misc. Prototype.

 Some old work horses bring a mixed train into Portage Jct.

This one snuck in just after sunset, I am not sure if the CN Police were trying to beat the train back to the yard, or trying to get a look at me. Although the new paint scheme is nice on their cars.

HO Scale & Steam to Boot!

The start of an HO Scale repaint project I am doing. It seems weird to be working with this scale again, as I went to N Scale almost 15 years ago. Both of these pieces are getting repainted into the EH&S colors/schemes. More progress to follow.

It's Finally Done!

Well the main line is finally done on the new track plan. I ran the first train around for about a half hour with no issues. Now onto the yard.

I will try to add a video later this week.

A little trip west.

Well it just so worked out that I had to make a work trip to Calgary last week. And wouldn't you know it, Supertrain 2012 was at the end of the week. So the show was a good mix of layouts and vendors, Some very nicely done modular layouts. And I didn't take a single picture of model trains, I saved that for the day spent in the mountains.Would have been better if the sun had stayed out all day, not just when there was no trains.

Some Progress

Nothing much to report, got some of the decals started tonight. Managed to get some time track-side this weekend too, will post pictures later this week.
