Today i got another 6' of track in place. Test run a full train for the first time, all did well. I made two videos and placed them on a Link for easy viewing.

At last, got a day without rain!! Still working on the curve at Big Rock, I got another 12' of track down this afternoon. Big Rock Curve is almost complete and headed for Cheerytree!! If things dry out a little in the next few days i will be bringing in more dirt to fill with. Once that is done, Construction on the Feed Mill can start....

Today, Rain....Again! Working on Blog Page, moving pictures to their own page and can be found on the "Links to Pictures". Each area will have it own link to to the pictures in that area or building. This will allow for more pictures and ease of use.

I also worked on the curve around Big Rock. I used Brass Track and smoothed out the turn to better handle the longer modern rolling stock. I took the curve from 12' to 20' this will much improve the operation in the Big Rock area. Also repainted a hopper car and weathered it down to an old very used look. I posted pictures of it in the "Rolling Stock" Link.

Today i got around to posting the drawing and pictures of the feed mill. It will Be "Sheller Feed Co." served by the SP. This will be a BIG and Busy place in the Garden. Drawings are complete with measurment and "Proto" pictures. I had looked the internet over to find a mill that would fit the bill for what i needed, found this one that worked out well.. I am making a few changes by adding grain bins to serve modern center flow hoppers as well as box cars.

I added a link To the Right of this post for the Sheller Feed Co. that will be located at Big Rock.

Not raining today, not yet. Still too wet to work on the road. Cutting scale lumber today, will post more later today........Maybe.. I did get to add on to today's post. I have a working plan for the Feed Mill. It will be 24" wide & 48" long x 36" tall. I plan on 8 Grain Bins, each 4' tall x 6" around. The entire mill area including track & yard will be 10' x 6' in the layout at Big Rock. When finished, this will complete the "Big" buildings in Big Rock.
