Nothing like claiming space and letting your imagination work out how you'll like things to be. I have similar shots back in 2006 - hope your layout progress is a lot faster than mine!

I've be procrastinating for way too long and I'm glad to be back at work.

Got the pensinula built amd foam glued down over the past couple of months. Time always seems to be in short supply for modeling and with the weather getting warmer I'll be spending a lot less time inside so there may not be any progress until fall.

It's been a wet and cold weekend so I decided to lay some track on the pensinula.

Are you going to lay any roadbed under that track, Stephen? I thought about laying track right on foam board, but I wanted that "raised" look, so went ahead and laid down cork on top of the foam.

This looks amazing. I love a well-thought freelance railroad. Looking forward to more developments!

Nice units, Stephen! The bells really stand out in that paint scheme.

It's been awhile since my last update. Doing a general layout cleanup to get ready to weather and ballast the track and some basic ground cover on the first section. Three patched C40-8M's did arrive on the property late last month.
