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. - Trevor Marshall, Toronto --- Port Rowan in 1:64 An S scale model of a Canadian National branch line terminal in Southern Ontario: http://themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950s ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
