Karl,

Thanks for the background and it looks like you have quite the empire started.  This is going to be fun to follow long.

Karl,

Thanks for the info on the layout and the KS name. As a gator, there was no way I'm painting a diesel in Orange and Blue.

 My A&S diesel is Green with White lettering.

This is going to be a great thread. Thanks for starting it.

Howdy Karl, 

Wow, that's a layout!  I see many years of work ahead. Good luck with the trestle. The background story was enjoyable to read.  Thanks.

Have fun,

Over this winter I decided the entrance to my layout needed a finished scene to see up upon entering instead of sticks and plywood strips.

I extended the layout by
~7 " to build underpinning for putting in a trestle instead of the bland looking unfinished look. I built a web base for the area being planned. I also cut the roadbed before the curved section and moved it out.



Using a jig saw I cut the roadbed to follow the outside edges of the ties.

Yes Karl how is the bridge doing?

Should be a really nice layout once you get to the scenery.

Karl,

That is a huge empire your building there.

You know, we need a bridge update. 

[Larry C]

Karl that'll keep you busy for awhile. Have fun.

Howdy Karl,

I like the idea of finishing the part of the layout that people will see first.  You have a lot of nice benchwork to build on.

Have fun,
mike
