In the meantime...

I am been working on a couple little things while Bruce and I finalize the trackplan for the new PRR layout. Over the last couple weeks I was able to stop in T & K Hobby in Bridgeport OH, Hobbyland here in Dayton and found a new store in Annapolis MD while I was there on business. Only grabbed a few small things but very much enjoyed browsing.

Next, I finished cataloging my books and some of the key articles from my magazine collection. So when I am ready to paint figures, weather freight cars, or build a PRR depot I know exactly where to find the steps or plans.

Finally, although its a bit chilly in the train room, I have been doing some work on the boys N-scale layout. Mostly I want to finish something for a change. Nicholas is a little more interested in trains than Adam but occasionally I can get both of them involve. We plaster coasted the extruded foam hillside and tonight Nicholas and I painted it an earth tone. Tomorrow we'll try placing a couple of rock castings and maybe plant some grass. Then we can complete some of the buildings and lay the road through the town.

Not sure if I am quite ready to tackle pouring the water!
