Yes!  Got them at the material auction in Martinsburg for 25 cents on the dollar!

With the kitchen installed, and now preparing for our vacation, I cleaned the basement for the first time since abandoning the camp kitchen I had in the basement for two years.

So for the first time, I can really see how the layout expansion will work.


This will be the west end, housing an engine terminal and a small yard.  The east end will be the existing HCD, somewhat modified to form the other end of the racetrack.

I think the kids are going to like the new place...

This fall should start getting really interesting.

Well.  That escalated quickly!



Acheived smooth east and westbound approaches to the turntable, and a through caboose track in one sell foop!



Of course when you make an omelette you have to break a few eggs.  At least if you know you can't make it to Mainline before closing time!

@Ed Kapuscinski you'll note that your Shinohara turnout has found a good home!

Nothing says Hi Rail like a commemorative car from Miniatur Wunderland.  And, it's a Minitrix with Rapido Couplers!!



My visit there last month was amazing.  It's like a Baltimore fire house Christmas Garden that's gone completely mad.
If you're ever in the neighborhood of Hamburg, Germany, you should pop around for a visit.

Were you able to fly on Lufthansa's 747-8 by chance?

Hey! I have some cars like that! I'll try to post some pictures in the next few days, when I'm off work.

No, we actually flew by way of Iceland with a one day layover, which was amazing.  From there we flew to Copenhagen, and arrived in Hamburg on a regional train.  I've got 9 million photos.  I'll have to get around to posting a few.
