My layout is based on the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend Railroad from Randolph Street Station in Chicago to South Bend, Indiana. It is based in the mid 1960s when I first saw the railroad in South Bend. The layout is 30 by 60 foot. Running NCE DCC and signaling via CTC using C/MRI.

Update May 22, 2012 Painting Finished
My Son in law and his brother have finished drywalling, priming, and painting the ceiling and the backdrop for the layout. Below are a selection of photos of the results. Now we have to clean off the top of the layout and get back to building the WV&TRR.

Layout Update May 9, 2012
It has been a while since I posted to the blog. Currently we are in the process of dry walling the ceiling of the layout room. We have used 50 sheets of drywall. Today by Son In Law tapes about 40% of the ceiling. After taping all of the ceiling there are two additional coats of drywall compound, then primer, and finally paintint the entire ceiling. Then we can get back to building the railroad.
