Killer stuff. Seeing it is always an Altoona highlight for me.

But it so reminds me of how I think Freemo has really screwed itself over with its phobia of backdrops.

Spent the weekend running trains! My dcc-ex system is working very well and I finished setting up my fleet of locomotives in JMRI.  Now spending time on building my own custom software controller (just because I can haha).

Let me share with you another cut from my N-scale Cisco, Utah diorama: dusk and night at Ethel's Cafe.
The Cafe had a short counter on the left and a pool table on the right.
