Hello group.
Time for a little update. I have been working on small things and it is coming together.
Here is an overall view of the center of the layout.
I have been making and adding ground foam, adding some trees and grass, and working on the little things like crossing protection, roads, and a few buildings.
Still years of fun left, but I'm really looking forward to the time I can get to really doing the small details.
I think this winter I'll work on the signal system and install some more decoders.
I have been wasting too much time running trains.
My wife and I had a party for all our friends that are involved with the Samoyeds. We had 25 people and 20 dogs in attendance. The farthest guest was from Sydney. We had folks from all over the eastern half of the US, and one lady from Kansas City, Mo.
I spent a lot of time preparing for this party, and we had a great time. I was requested to run trains for them so everyone took pictures and had a great time. It is so much fun to awe folks that aren't in the hobby. They aren't jaded like we are. (
) I'm kidding guys.
