Wow Shawn, That’s really looking more finished now. Didn’t take long at all. Like the walkway a lot.
And Busy Bodies, Cool! I never heard of them before. May need a few some day. That is, if I’m no good at making them.
Shawn, my man, I am VERY impressed. This is great inspiration to go out and… wait, it’s raining!
Thanks guys. My wife made only one complaint. When I first laid the track out she said “how am I going to get down the steps and make that turn at the bottom”. Her complaint was her hips were to wide. I know, don’t ask because their is more then enough room to turn a body. So when I finished I said I need to make a wide load sign for that area hehe…
Lou you cant let a little rain stop you. Ialready got my load of dirt and im in the process of building my trestles.

Shawn, nice progress… Railroad is looking good…
Looks like a great start. Looking forward to seeing this as it progresses.
I made more progress o the railroad. I got the sawmill area set up and I started working on the spare tree. More plants have bee added but still needs a lot more. I also got the trestle finished and got my first section of hand laid track done. This section will be used for the trestle. I debated on whether I should put guide rails on the trestle but the majority of the pictures I have seen in my PA logging books does not show guide rails on the trestles. I decided to go without.
Now that the trestle is complete I ca start thinking about the covered bridge and hand laying more track.
Very nice. Good workmanship and done very quickly. Good Job.

The boy is definitely fast. Ah, the joys of youth! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
Great progress. I started reading from a month ago and it’s fun to see what you have done in a month! Do you ever sleep???
That’s a very impressive trestle and it looks great. I would recommend placing it on something. Foamed PVC glued to each base or even just on a rock. I didn’t and the base has started to rot away.
Thanks for the tip Bruce. I did put block under the bents and then stone on top. Here is the trestle in place.
Looks like you could be logging by July (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Its the hat
I could use a hat like that. I mean, I could use the energy, drive and ambition that the hat apparently gave him.
Excellent work on the trestle. What are your plans for the well head ?
