Nothing. I'm HOPING to put together a double set of (DCC) Santa Fe F's to head up a California Zephyr trainset to take to the E24 meet about a month from now--the four planned Rio Grande repaints probably won't happen in time--but even that's looking less and less likely by the hour. I can't even get a few hours to fix the fluid leaks on a BMW, which should easily pass emissions if it will just hold coolant, and all my tools are over there.
So even the small dog bone layout is pretty far down the list. Meh.

Nothing happening on the Gulf, Central & Eastern RR this summer, due to various outdoor chores.
Cutting down trees for firewood is my top priority now.
When I started this summer, I had 10 of these racks to fill. They are 8ft long, 4ft deep and about 5ft tall. I have 2 1/2 racks filled. I hope to be finished by the end of August...

It is 1914 - 1919 in the land of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.
The pub has been named 'Locomotion'. Still more work to do before it is finished.
It is wartime trains must run. A train of Gunpowder Vans are heading north. A Baxter's Soups boxvan acts as a 'Barrier Wagon'.

I have a hidden three track staging yard planned for the near future. I have the track and turnouts, but not the time or the motivation to get in the train room and do it.

It is wet and humid in east central Minnesota, and a new boxcar came via US Mail.
Will be removing trucks on 4 boxcars and practicing my weathering.

Actually, nothing for the next couple weeks while I'm on the road chasing trains.
Lights are out and it's dark down there.

The question presumes one has a layout..... My "active" modular is inactive sitting in the basement while I am in Albuquerque at the Santa Fe Historical & Modeling Society annual convention. Several interesting field trips including a steam up of the Santa Fe 2926.

Progress is still quite slow. Today was all about making the railroad money 
A yard job delivered these cars to C.A. Foods from nearby Meridian Yard
Later a northbound mixed freight passed C.A. Foods heading to Meridian Yard to do some switching before terminating in staging.

I love it.
As a member of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Society the learning about the Company as helped me in knowing the quirks and eccentricities of its 'goings on'.

Still working on my layout, making tunnels and mountains, then ballasting track. I can run trains but want to get the landscape complete.
