Norm Wolf's CSX/RF&P Sub - Acca & Dahlgren Branch

[ndwolf68]

Folks,
I'm hoping thru your inspirations, I get back some motivations & move on with my layout.  I started this Summer (we moved here last December), but quickly petered out, with all that's going on, family- & health-wise.  Anyway, I'll try to get back to it, but here's where I'm at...


Dimensions are 18' x 8'8".  Benchwork is a slight take on Dave Barrow's Dominoes, so I can move this, if necessary.  Track plan will be forthcoming, as I figure out some things.

Norm,

Looks good so far. Isn't this a little more space than you had in VA?

Looking forward to the build.

Weeeeeell, in our Apartment ('14-'17), definitely more.  Not as big as what was in our home (RF&P Doswell).  I'll try to dig up a last photo of each, before demolition, for comparison.

Utah, huh?
Just when youtaught you were settled in Virginia.
Moving and the resulting re-engineering of an abode just ain't no fun. Seriously carves into your more important tasks.

Yeah, I hear ya. We've moved several times, in my (almost) 30 years with Uncle Sam, and we hope this is the last. Our goal was to retire here in Utah, near wife's family, our daugjters and grandbabies. Glad we got to donit sooner, rather than later.
Hopefully, I'll get this layout going...

Good stockpile of canned goods. 
New layout will be good for you.

Can you believe she did that in this summer??? We have apple sauce, peaches, corn, and jam coming out of our ears! No complaints, though, as it is sooooo delicious and no preservatives!

Here's hoping you can put the stuff behind you that's been holding you back and get back into layout building mode.  I love seeing others do what I'm a pro at procrastinating on.     I'll be following along for sure.

Norm,


Looking forward to your progress.  Do you have some basic givens and druthers as far as a track plan?  Or, a even a preliminary plan you could share with us?

Thanks, Dave!  A little surgery on Dec 3rd, then 4-6 weeks recovery, and hopefully 2019 will be a much better year.

Sorry, I should've gotten this up right away.  Bob Sprague (www.bobstrackplans.com) did this, with some big input by friend Bernie Kempinski.  The 'power plant lead' which is on the real branch, will become a frozen food distributor (using the Promotex concrete prefab kits).  Lots of other kits I've been toying with to fit the industries... lots more to do.



Questions & comments always welcome.
