Charleston, Roanoke & Eastern Railway: January 2013
http://ns-cre.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Charleston, Roanoke and Eastern Railway. An operations-based N scale model railroad representing a freelanced division of Norfolk Southern. Monday, January 28, 2013. Latest at Smith Summit. Tonight I finished the last of the scenery work around the 12 whopping feet of mainline that I have ballasted. That's 12 out of close to 300 feet of mainline, including the K&N branch, and I hate to think how many feet of sidings and yard tracks have to be done. This will be a lifelong project. Additional scenery work...

The Blue Ridge & White Mountain RR: December 2013
http://brwm.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The Blue Ridge and White Mountain RR. The Best Ride Within Maine. Friday, December 27, 2013. I purchased all of the signals from layout owners that no longer needed their signals. These are Oregon Rail Supply signals that were already built, but not painted. Here they are in stands after painting. They were eventually placed on the layout. Since I bought from a few different people I ended up with a few different brands. Phone System Common Board. Thursday, December 26, 2013. This year has been mostly an...

It turns out I had the basic understanding of what to do but the equipment was temporaril...

http://brwm.blogspot.com/2014/06/car-float-operations.html
The Blue Ridge and White Mountain RR. The Best Ride Within Maine. Tuesday, June 3, 2014. I have always liked the idea of having car float operations, but I just couldnt justify it. Every once in a while I would think about again, but not act. Then today I found out Bath, Maine had car float ops in the 30s. Now the wheels are turning again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
