Thank you all for the kind words! I have until December 8th to work on the layout as much as I can, work will get crazy again from that date until January 2nd. I need some additional materials before I can begin trackwork again, but I have enough other work to do, that I will not be slowed down.
To give you some idea of what things will look like in the future: The yard area will move to the upper peninsula with the "yard" extending down to the corner of the room. The former yard area will now be the location of the city scene. Below the new yard, to the right, near the pool sticks (They too are being put away) will be the location of the mine scene, and the area where I started work on the rock wall, you will see a section that is lower than the lower level track. This area will house the power plant and office. I am going to leave room on the upper level, in the corner, for an industrial section that would be comprised of building flats/shadow boxes, etc.
Mark - sorry, but the Penguins jersey and pictures also are coming down. I am going to relocate them to another room in the house. I want to put train related pictures in the room, and begin work on another recessed train shelf ( You can never have too much room to store the trains you "had" to buy, lol!)
Seacoast - If I ever get the layout to a point where I am considered for a OGR magazine article I would consider it an honor.
