Tonight was a long time in the making. From 2014 - 2016 I had a basic train layout set up in my garage. It was roughly 8 x 12 and was comprised of a few sheets of plywood sitting on top of 3 wooden folding tables. Even though it was basic I could spend hours out in the garage running my trains. Since the space that the layout was located in was a single car garage I new that I had to eventually relocate it so the space could be used for its intended purpose. So In the summer of 2017 with the blessing of my wife I began to gut and remodel the unfinished side of our basement. I finished the remodeling around Christmas of 2017 and at that point got busy with life and didn’t make to much progress until this past summer. Over the summer I worked on building a frame for which my backdrop would attach to. (See picture below). On Friday of this week I received my photo backdrops I ordered from Railroad Backdrops and got them hung this evening. (See photo below) They look great and I plan on starting the bench work for my layout this week. I am hoping to have the basics of the G & W layout completed by Thanksgiving so I can run my trains by Christmas.
