Delia planted her trees on the mountain. I put in my billboards. Bob and Ray finished the last piece of the fascia (before going on to finishing the base) and Roy painted the fascia. We'll call it FINISHED!!! Done is beautiful, but this is really a charming layout, lots of action, and simply fun to look at.
Now for the SURPRISE. During the couple of weeks we built the LionChief layout we went from the planning stage to the finish stage (well we'll finish tomorrow) on a SECOND 4X8 O gauge layout. And it's wonderful looking, if I must say so myself. I've just come in from the barn and washed my brushes and I haven't made dinner yet, so I'm not up to giving you more than a teaser of a look. You can see both at York. When we get back, I'll do you a thread as I did with LionChief, so you can see it in progress...sort of a backward way of doing it but that's how it is sometimes.There's lots more to share and if I have any energy and time tomorrow, I'll give you a few more teasers. Otherwise, see you in York.
