    The Blackwing and Western is coming back to life

    Not working very quickly on the layout, but it's been rainy for a few days so I did some work yesterday and will continue today. Glued down some 1/4" foam core to raise the landscape a bit. Need to go buy more today then I'll glue down some more. After that will be sculptamold, roads, dirt and...

    The Blackwing and Western is coming back to life

    Installed a basic blue sky backdrop yesterday. At least it removes the visual clutter. Next is to start on some scenery.

    The Blackwing and Western is coming back to life

    Moved the layout down to the basement last night and put it on some legs. Also added the extension to give it a fiddle yard. Eventually all the stuff on the shelves in the background will be dealt with and go away. Then the shelves will come out and the layout will go along the wall. Just...

    The Blackwing and Western is coming back to life

    The turnouts are all hand built using the Fast Tracks system. They all turned out pretty well. I need to run a few more locomotives and cars through them to make sure everything is all good. The frogs are fully insulated and powered using Tam Valley Frog Juicers. This is the first time I've...
