It seems it has been forever getting my construction done on the Neverdun R.R A few details need to be taken care of, but I will be able to handle them. (famous last words)

The details of the layout that is 19 feet long by 8 feet wide, and a 10 foot long by 4 foot wide crows nest for operating. Starting from the crows nest and going out, the first loop is a 0-27 dedicated to my tin plate, and I have plenty, then the next loop out is O-N30. These tracks can run at the same time. Next loop out is a 0 gauge powered by MCC. Then last but not least, is gauge running on the outside is the confential loop for showing off the rest of my trains. I have some bugs to find, but I do see the end.

Well, we are not quite ready to search for a new name. I lot of cleaning, organization,

testing of equipment that has not been used for some time and so on. I did find two ON30 locomotives, a heisler, and a consolation that I found in a box under the bottom of the bench work. Well, you know I had to run both engines, and then I had to put cars on them and run them at the same time I was running a train of new Marx metal cars pulled by a Marx 1999. The trains were running opposite of each other, man, a dream come true. Still have some bugs clear, but gaining.

If all goes well, pictures should be posted to the forum Wednesday or Thursday. If not, at least I have a cleaner layout, as well as the man cave. I found a lot of Tinplate items I had forgotten.

Well Hello gang, I am still alive and doing my best on construction which is screwing down track, which is about 12 feet. Then, locate the buildings, which I have more than I need.

I have thought of a lot of names for the rail road, but I am liking "Sam Burr City". Of course the local yokals will rename the trains The "Sand Burr Flyers". This comes from a passenger train in my home county "MoPac" during the dust bowl days.

Hope to have more pictures soon.
