About Me
- Mark B.
- Allendale, SC
- I grew up in Wyoming, mostly living in areas served by the railroads I model. I remember standing at the window in our Cody Wyoming home, staring at night at the old Husky refinery across town. I remember the bridge across the creek and under the tracks between Powell and Cody. I remember always looking for trains as we travelled through the Wind River Canyon. And I remember my mother's last home - a mobile home in Evansville next to the Burlington mainline.

Standing Still - Almost
Well, time seems to be standing still in terms of layout rebuilding.
We purchased a home in Allendale SC a few months ago, and have been working to get it into shape. A "guest house" just off the main residence will be the new train room.
We knew there was a leak in the roof on one side, but planned to have that fixed.
Initially we used the guest house to store things (on the dry side of the place!) as we were setting up the house and getting the roof repaired. That all seemed to go as planned, and roof repairs were completed a couple weeks ago. We spent the last ten days or so clearing out the train room and at least started getting it ready for layout construction (a new layout plan is well under way) when a few days of heavy thundershowers cropped up. The roof leaks even worse than before!!!
So now I'm on hold until we get this figured out and good repairs made.
Stand by for more in the next couple of months!
