Progress on the new "Black and Blue"

After a bit of planning with SCARM plus some kicking around of ideas with members here  in my blog and a bit of fairly simple bench work  construction, I now have some progress to show on the "Blackwater and Blue Hollow Short Line" or as it's affectionately known around these parts... "The Old Black n Blue"

Ever see a trackplan you can't get out of your head?

I have and it's one that goes totally against my givens and druthers  but it's been stuck in the back of my mind for days while I've been demolishing my old layout and  considering what I want to do in the future.  A lot of you remember stein jr. I'm sure.  I saw a plan on his site called Potosi Mo. way back when and remembered liking it at the time.  Lately with all my mental gyrations about the original Gorre and Daphetid and the Gunstump and Snowshoe plans that plan keeps creeping in as well.  Here's the link....

Deciding between two classic layout plans

I'm well into the demolition of my existing layout. I hate how much harder it seems to get the stuff out than it did to put it in.  It's probably the other way around and easier to take out but it doesn't seem that way. Guess it has something to do with the anticipation when you are starting a project rather than ending one.

Progress report on Micro Engineering bridge project.....finally some scenery too

It's not much scenery, just stark white plaster, but since scenery is my favorite part of the hobby, anything is better than nothing. I finally made enough progress on my 210 ft. ME Tall Steel Viaduct that I feel I can post some shots. Took me forever to get this far.....
