Hi all:

A minor milestone in my S scale endeavour...

One year ago today, I picked a URL, a theme, some custom header photos and 
started a blog about my plan to build a small segment of the Canadian National 
Railway's Port Rowan branch in 1:64.

I have to be honest and admit I'm surprised at how much I've accomplished in a 
year.

When I launched the blog I had a layout plan and some of the equipment I 
needed... and that's about it. I had just confirmed that sufficient equipment 
existed in S scale to do the Port Rowan branch justice, but I hadn't yet 
attained all the essentials. And I still had a previous layout to remove from 
the train room.

In the 365 days since then, I've removed the old layout, prepped the room and 
built all my benchwork… hand laid, wired and tested all of my track… acquired 
all of my key pieces of motive power and rolling stock… installed basic terrain 
across the entire layout and given most of it a first pass of scenery… mocked 
up all of my structures… and hosted my first operating sessions. I'm looking 
forward to what the coming year brings!

One of the greatest pleasures I've enjoyed over the past year is meeting new 
people via the blog. Readers - many of whom are on this list - have provided 
everything from encouragement and suggestions, to sources for products and 
historical information that is helping me build a better layout. To them – you 
know who you are – my heartfelt thanks. It's been great meeting you - mostly 
online, but even sometimes in person. I look forward to more conversations.
