The Los Angeles Terminal Railroad

[cnw1961]

No need to worry … I only have been quiet, because nothing happened on my layout for quite a while. I was on vacation and afterwards I got a little sidetracked. A while ago I found Mike Calverts site with his O-scale brass engine kits (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mike.calvert.btinternet.co.uk/HomePage.htm">http://www.mike.calvert.btinternet.co.uk/HomePage.htm</a><!-- m -->) and I could not resist. I simply had to build one of these. I chose a SW1500 and I have been working on it for the last two weeks now. To make things a bit more interesting (and to save some money) I will not use the drive the kit is designed for and I am changing the way it is assembled … It is almost like scartchbuilding and I enjoy it tremendously, though I don’t know what I will do with this engine once it is finished.

I have no plans for a new layout. When I need a break from working on this engine or at the latest when it is finished, I will resume working on the layout again.
