Looking great, I wish I could devote half to the time you do to building projects!  Time is just ticking away to fast.

did build and paint a lot the past week but didn't manage to finish something for 'show and tell'...
...let's have a look back to the year 2008

I just got older (47)...$#@$%#@%$#!@%$$#

I finished the kitchen floor!  I actually started this project in December 2008, when I thought that ripping up the original tile would revel hardwood flooring.  It didn't, so we had a partially finished floor until this past Wednesday.   ;D. My wife loves me.

I've been on a passenger car streak lately. Here's a GN coach from Centralia Car Shops. I cut the skirting away and added steps under the door (after carefully cutting that part of the skirting). Also changed out the trucks to American Limited and body mounted some Z couplers. Oh, and I also and cut some of the window shades away to add some variety. A pretty easy project compared to most of my builds!

Happy Birthday, Puddlesborough!  I spend the day out in the yard pulling weeds, and contemplating the rotting sill under the front porch.

I'm hoping that someone donates 200 square feet of tongue and groove old growth fir the ReStore soon...

Couple of photos of were I am on the layout








Need to build a bridge for this area to complete the mainline

[BCRail_FSJ]

Put some more time in on track laying and wiring at Taylor.  I have the main, sidings and spurs elevated at different levels which looks quite good in person and in photos.







I have requested a ballast transfer to be sent from Chetwynd to shore up the newly laid track.  Tim will be helping me out with that next weekend.

Here's a bridge for you..  ;D Finished my Central Valley bridge. Nice kit that went together well.

No modelling for me, but a lot of driving and photography. Picked up our rental car in Denver on Tuesday and after checking our Rocky National Park and Caboose Hobbies, we headed west to Moab UT on Thursday, north to Ogden UT on Friday, north to Missoula MT on Saturday and north to Whitefish MT today. Highlights include the former DRGW over Soldier Summit, the small yards at Grand Junction and Helper, the railway museum at Ogden (including a former Rio Grande SD40T-2 and Espee SD45), MRL facilities at Missoula and the BNSF yard at Whitefish today has been really easy to shoot. I'll be checking it and the surrounds out tomorrow morning before we follow the BNSF to Glacier and the Isaak Walton Inn tomorrow.

Here's a shot of this afternoons exploration:



After a few days around Glacier we head west to Portland and hopefully an a$$-hats west meet up. I'm not even sick of eating and drinking in brew-pubs yet. The Wild Huckleberry beer I had tonight from the Great Northern Brewing Co was amazing....

Nice stuff everyone.

Made some progress on Franksville. Lumber yard is coming together and I decided to build another lumber shed behind the main building. Also made progress on another building - pics later.
