Update 2018
Well it has been quite a long time since I posted something. A lot has happened since my last post. Projects still continued but not much of an update. My wife and I decided it was time to look for a bigger house as we look to start a family in the future. While looking for a house one of the items on the list was a house that had a space where I could have a layout. During our house hunt, it became obvious that to have the size layout I would dream of meant a house out of the budget. Also came the factor of losing the battle of having the ENTIRE basement to myself. Was overruled on that one.
We settled on a house where there was a 10x17 room that would be dedicated for my modeling (I do 1/35 scale military models and WW2 wargaming as additional hobbies). Given the space of the room, I would have enough for a decent size switching layout. I had a small switching layout that, over time, i kept downsizing in anticipation of this move. I would have loved to utilize the whole area of this room for the layout, but this room, which had built in shelves and racks, will also serve as a location for some storage of some items.
I am just thankful to have a space for the new updated layout. I have a few ideas for some industries and looking to have a more simple and detailed layout as opposed to a big layout that lacks some wow factors.
Stay tuned as always and I hope to get posts up more frequently as life allows it.
