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.

PROGRESS 8/3/2019
Progress the last week of so. Almost finished the Concourse for Penn
Station. Need to test fit it Sunday and take some photos. Also the Dam
is installed and some weathering done. Poured first coat of "water" to
make sure everything is sealed. Need a couple more coats and then have
to deal with where the water flows over the dam. Also finished framing
the engine house (John Allen Memorial Engine House) and just cut the
roof on my laser. Roof will have eight clear glass windows
so you can see inside and four smoke stacks aligned over where a steam
engine's stack would be located. Have three of the windows and the
other five are hopefully in the mail. Also the shingles I laser cut out
of thin cardboard for the roof and will be installed when the five
windows arrive next week I hope. Still have to complete the power plant
that the dam feeds. So some photos should be forthcoming.
