Today, I attended the Railroad Modeling University (RMU) by the Carolina Southern Division of the National Model Railroad Association. http://www.carolinasouthern.org/RMUmain.htm I thoroughly enjoyed the classes.
Carl Baumgart did an excellent job presenting the Scratchbuilding class. He provided tips on how to construct buildings as well as the materials he uses. It was quite informative and not as hard as I originally thought. I would like to scratchbuild a barn for Franklin Farms on the layout.
I spent the rest of the day (4 classes) sitting in Gil Brauch's Scenery classes. My focus in 2012 is to scenic the layout. The classes were very informative and well presented. I'm looking forward to digging out my scenery supplies and starting in the near future.
Progress...
This evening, I completed installing the new double track interlocking at JD Tower. I have one short section of track to install between the curved turnout at JD Tower and the new crossover about 18" away. I also need to install the new reversed crossover at Blue Island. The trackwork is nearly complete! I'm looking forward to testing the new track by mid-week.
