John, great video! It was like the guitarist were in the room with you. That gives me a great idea.... Have any of you had live musicians play while you ran your trains? My layout is to small to make this happen but maybe. I do have a few friends that play.
What happened at the end?

Haven't done anything this week. Up here in Georgia and drive home at night. Get a few minutes here and there to keep updated. Well, I am using back of script to draw track plans and building, etc. placement. Trying to fit back over track walkway and grain elevator.

Bill, I will post a photo today. Not many buildings that are introduced lately, but this one is a winner.
Welcome home.

Thanks PTC, glad to be back. Paula was in charge last weekend and she and Charles started on the facia. We want it to be substantial so that the kids can hold on to it instead of the tracks or whatever else happens to be there. It will also help prevent little (or big) hands on the track. We have a lot of projects underway at the same time and plan to review the list and reestablish some order. The list includes: Complete the front shelves including painting where needed, install shelves, lights, and glass. Finish the exterior station platform lights. Complete level 1 ballast. Install level 2 rear tracks. Begin roundhouse. Check out and repair buildings partially completed pending level 2. Complete minor interior items that remain. Clean up the “stuff.” And so it goes. While I was in Mexico, we received several new items that had been expected and will put them in another thread. Attachments:

Since it wasn't raining today I was able to get some homasote strips cut for the yard area. Tomorrow hope to get a base coat of paint on and be done with that dusty mess for awhile!! Sure makes for a quiet ride though.

What you and Paula have accomplished on your new layout is beyond impressive. This is going to be a "world class" O-Gauge layout.
