Reply to "Building the Riverdale, Pittsburgh, & Western 10x11.5+ Layout (Updated 11/19/23: Welcome to Western PA!)"

Thanks everyone!  I'm taking Dan's advice and going to bias towards action.  That is literally the kick in the pants I needed! 

@Mark Boyce, @Hannibal-St Joseph RR, and @Tranquil Hollow RR The paint isn't peeling, but we do have a humidity issue in our basement.  The previous owners didn't invest in good basement paint on the walls, so there are some sections that are turning brown.  In prepping the space, I'm going to get some Kilz or Drylock paint and recover the walls in that corner.  I have one dehumidifier on one side of the basement.  I'm thinking of getting at least one more for that side.  I'm also starting to get quotes for a full on water-proofing for our basement, but thats more of a long term thing now. 

@David K. Simpson Thank you for letting me know. I've been looking at the plan for a bit, I think I will straighten out that curve under the bridge.  I also want to build that area into a river crossing scene and I think some of the bridges on the bottom would look better straightened out.  I'm sure

@Greg Nagy Thanks for providing those links! And @Mallard4468, thanks for the DJ trains links.  I've followed PGH Train Fanatic for awhile, and was planning on using his Steel Mill flats (and still may).  I've been watching DJ's videos now all week.  haha.  Also, Greg, it's great to meet another URR fan down here!  My pap worked for the URR for 30 + years.  I spent many years going with him and my grandma to the URR picnics at Kennywood as a kid, hearing a lot of stories from the old timers.  I also have the Bulova Acutron watch he received as gift for his years of service. 

Thanks again everyone!  I'm excited to start the prep on the space and get building in the next week or so

Oh! And Let's go Pens!
