Spent some time cleaning up the basement today, so I thought I'd take a few photos to mark the occasion. This is my first O-scale layout, so it's a little rough around the edges, and I'm no carpenter either! But it keeps me and the kids happy, so it's all good. I'm just finishing setting up star wiring on the layout in case I can swing a DCS system this fall, and it's about time to put some scenery in - otherwise there'll be no Bear Mountain to name the whole thing after! Here's the trick though - I'm posted overseas in Europe with the government, and we're already two years into a three year assignment in Vienna. So that means I've got to finish this up quick, cause one way or another it's all getting torn down and packed up next summer!
