Have been off OGR forum for years, as it became too much to keep up. However, at this time I’m ready to give it another go!
A little update toy train-wise: Sold the house in No. CA in the Spring of 2018, my hubby Tom then retired and we moved in May of 2018 to a much bigger historic home in Wichita. When we first saw this home In Sept of 2017 we knew it had a perfect room upstairs for holding a dedicated Standard Gauge Layout.
The existing Standard Gauge Layout table top we had built and created in 2016 could not navigate the narrow stairway, BUT it did fit perfectly at the back end of the Great Room on the Main Floor. I refer to it as my “Showcase“ Layout- as it has some special goodies on it.
Two years in, Spring of 2020 it was the right time to build the Upstairs Standard Gauge Layout. Construction started during the lockdown sheltering-in in March. While hubby was cutting and staining and prepping all the wood, I was creating a paper mache’, chicken wire, and drywall MOUNTAIN on the Breakfast Room table.
Late this Summer, we started work on my Upstairs O Gauge Layout. Another dedicated room!
Plenty of pics and vids I want to share will follow, as I get back into the swing of things here...
