I have other interests than computers alone. Celery had guns and games and other stuff. I like boating and fishing. Camping is what i have done for the last 21 years in a rv. We have moved into a stick and brick home after all that time. When on the road over the last 9 years or so, I have been going to model r.r. shows. and had been working on a layout idea. When i moved to Killeen, Texas i had started a 3X5 foot model railroad layout. I am doing a model of a logging camp and sawmill along the lines of some of the camps in West Virginia. It was to small for what i was doing. Now that i have moved into our new home I took one of the bedrooms and turned it into a kind of Man-Cave. Have a big screen tv and cable along with my computer and my desk. I turned the closet into a kinda storage for all the stuff i have collected over the years for the layout and computer. So, I have been working on a update plan for this railroad. I have come up with how to make it bigger without having to rebuild the whole thing. So, i ended up with a 3X8 foot layout and have more room if i need it. The model is 1900's era and uses steam engines of that time. I have some shots of what i have done so far. Its a work in progress as i am about to make one change already. Its a minor one so no big deal. Always a challenge to build something when you are trying to save parts you did right. Shots below. Tell us yours here. Dan
