Texas Hobo
Well Known Hobo
I have been N scaling for more than forty years off and on. The model railroad gods finally came together about 10 years ago, giving me the time, the space and a few dollars to spend from time to time. I built the Northern and Apple Ridge RR. The idea was a fictious railroad with connections to the Boston and Maine. The layout got to maybe 75% completion when I grew bored with it. I could run several trains watching them go round and round. There were only 2 industries served by my RR. So, in December 2019 I tore it down and started fresh with my current Apple Ridge Rail Service, a DCC layout.
With a clean slate, using SCARM I designed my layout.
With a new plan the old layout was torn down and new foam board glued in place, tracks were set out
From there wiring, added scenery.
So now there are about 14 industries to be served by the ARSS. The current goals is replace as many plastic strucure as possible with laser cut kits. In my opinion the laser cut kits just look better than most of the plastic ones.
