Currently have two layouts, one for operation, the other as a test track for DCC-EX and other projects.
Debbie had her hip replacement surgery on Tuesday. She is currently experiencing some neve pain in her foot due to the removal of old hardware b4 the hip replacement, possible stretched nerve in that area
This is causing a delay in her ability to get around as planned. She is not feeling good about having to go to rehab again, but this may be the case unless she show much improvement by tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted here for any new news!

A short clip that I did not include in my last video of me adding spikes to the trestle
This update there has been a few more modifications. I shortened the shed that sticks off to one side. I thought it looked to long and it just looked out of proportion to its surroundings. Some paper lap siding and trim with paper brick and paper shingles. The rolled roofing is just spray painted masking tape. I have also thought up another modification I will make to the front of it later on. Things always change as it starts to come together.
I have started to add siding and roofing to the mock up. The colors I chose didn’t translate as accurately as I had imagined to the photo paper but it’s ok for a mock up. It’s more important just to get it covered so I can get to the door and window arrangement and placement. I haven’t had much time to get any further with it.
Well as for now, I have completed all the add ons and bump outs for the structure. I will next cover it with siding and some brick and shingles all printed on glossy photo paper. Then dull it down with a matte finish to kill the shine and the decorate it with windows door and signs that are also printed on paper. I may add chimneys and vents but that seems more like putting actual parts on a mock up. At the end of it all, this is just a mock up. Next update will start to look like something more like a structure instead of a frosted white cake 🎂 until next time 😁
