Remember those good old days, far off now, when I built the seven day model railroad? Quite the popular model it was too. Quite the successful blog as well. Well, I’m having another go at building a layout to a time frame. Not in seven days though.
The Granite City Train show is seven weeks away, so this time I’ll build a layout in 7 weeks. Doesn’t sound so impressive compared to 7 days, but don’t forget that for the original 7 day challenge I was on vacation from work so I could devote all day, every day to it. Not so this time, for I’ll be holding down my job as well. The project should still be a challenge though. The momentum on the original project just steamrollered as I could work on it all day, every day.
Keeping momentum going on this longer drawn out project will be a challenge, as I've experienced before. So I’ve decided to work in a different scale to give me the challenge of discovery as well. The layout will be built in On30 using the Bachmann stock that I have accumulated over the years, thinking that one day I’ll build a layout. It looks like that day is here now.
I’ll write more about the project in greater detail later on, but for now sign up for blog updates and wait and see what happens.
Enjoy the ride!
