Backwoods NE in Florida

I had the pleasure of visiting earlier in the week. I can confirm it looks great in person.

I know it's a whole different thing...but I'll just add it to this thread.

Little Switzerland is finally taking shape out in the barn. Ultimately, it will be L-shaped and in the house but I'm trying to do as much as the messy/toolsy stuff out of the house (for now at least)...

Howdy John,

Messy work out of the house is a good idea.  The layout section looks great.  

Have fun,

Thanks Mike...there's something also about having a bigger open space to get messy and the isolation that leads to quick progress.

Looks like a great start.  But why are we ging smaller in scale if I may ask??

I was in N scale for many years...I've still got my HO layout across the room and have many projects ahead. I really was amazed when I rode the Swiss trains all over last year and I figured N scale has a much better chance of capturing, at least to some extent, the feeling of sparkling little trains dwarfed by the majestic scenery...especially in a relatively small space.

I've always loved N scale and that effect...it's a lot different perspective than the kind of detail and variety of craftsman kits available in HO...nice contrast.
