Title: Thursday, February 26
Post by: cuse on February 26, 2026, 05:46:32 AM
Good morning all...get your own breakfast

Today is my last payday as a young-ish retiree...meeting with my CPA today to find out if I'm crazy  :P

This afternoon or tomorrow I hope to truly break ground on my HOn3 layout start-over. I've got pretty extensive plans for European-style shadowbox benchwork for a smaller, more manageable layout. I'll try to focus on taking my time and avoiding backtracking due to shortcuts or careless work. I'm hoping to have such beautiful benchwork that I won't want to defoul it with trains  ;D

When that gets far enough down the road, I'll break ground on the N scale Swiss-inspired layout across the room. 

Plenty to do and (theoretically so far) plenty of time to do it well.

Have a good one...John

Congratulations indeed!  Good morning, all.  Sun's well up here in the Merrimack Valley, the critters have been tended and I have modeling to do after looking around the Forum.

Congratulations John. Enjoy the adventure.

Sun, cold but some warmer in Michigan. I have a project all over the dining room table that is going to be my project for the day.

Spartan Hoops tonight  :D

Enjoy the day everyone.
