The kids really like it better & while the scale stuff is very nice, there's just something magical about these classics that I can't really put into words. Anyway - here are some pics from the last 2 weeks.
Added the back wall panels & started the framework
Had my little helpers along with me -

Chris,
I look forward to your postings every week. Postwar has never really been my "thing" but I'm getting interested again in the "basic" stuff - conventional 0-31 type operation or as I call it "No bulls**t"! Just run trains.
Thank you for sharing each week with us. Love the look of your layouts and your work. Thank you!
Thanks! Yeah I tried the scale thing (again!) in the end, the kids & myself just enjoy the postwar stuff a lot more. There's something cool to just let the trains run & kick back & relax w/ a beer on the couch
