Updated Track Plan

This drawing represents the current changes being made to the layout.  On the left side which is the South end of the basement, a swing gate is being installed to allow access to certain utilities.  For more information check Bob's article in the February Issue of the eMagazine, the Model Railroad Hobbyist.  This drawing was modified on April 18th.  The Swing Gate has been reversed to allow more access to the utility area.

Below are some photos of the Western Maryland Modular Group which was setup at the South Mountain Division's Mini Convention.  No captions but major scene mostly on the Eastern portion of the layout.

Little Joe Kit Parts

Below are over lapping photos of the parts that make up the Little Joe kit.  I think I am missing a couple of little items.  This is called a kit, but it looks more like scratch building to me.

Little Joe

My Little Joe kit arrived yesterday.  So I am checking it out and getting ready start building again.   Lots of little and big parts and almost no instructions so it will be interesting for sure.  Did find there photos on the internet today that show this great little engine at work.  Enjoy.

City street running in Michigan City, IN.  Just single track in the streets.
