Here is the video shot of the final op session on the CIOR's Dunreith.
The layout is coming down and I shot some humor just walking around with the camera during the session. No editing, just simple cut and insert video job. Enjoy.

Very nice Matt, thanks for posting this. How long until the new construction starts? Dunno. I'm working up the final bid for my contractor as we speak. He will have to build a couple walls, do the finishing, reinstall the drop ceiling to the new walls.....THEN and ONLY THEN can we start. I've decided to no install backdrop this time, just paint the walls all the gray sky blue color that is accurate. Once this is done, we will start hanging the wall brackets and start with benchwork. I'm sure tracklaying will be painfully slow for me, but I will be 100% positive before anything is down for good. Made too many mistakes in the past and won't do it with this layout. Once the track and electrical (CMRI) is all finished up, then and only then will scenery start. I figured I can have the layout up and atleast running somewhat in 6 months. But I have no set deadline on this. |

Wish I was your neighbor, I'd be hobbling over there with my cane Toot Suite! Dry Wall Screws and two electric drills make me happy.

LOL, I could use the help. I've spent the better part of this evening taking apart the electronics end of the railroad. I never knew I had that much electrical..LOL
Luckily I have one of those small Black & Decker palm drills with phillips attachments.
Beats lugging that big Dewalt drill about.
I've got 95% of the scenery out and should be ready come Saturday for the rest of it..LOL, just tiresome. Luckily Tomorrow and Saturday I will have help.
