    Amazing work as usual Bill. Looks like I will have to ante up for OSW.

    Bill, can’t wait to see your work on redoing these PRR Baldwins.

    BTW, nice article about you in OSR.

    Here’s a quick progress update. All track has been laid excepting for the 2 stubs located in the Bonne Terre staging area. Switches are being fine tuned and tested with engines and rolling stock. I had to modify the track plan to maintain a 60″ minimum curve radius. The loop has also been eliminated, so the physical layout will now match the intended point-to-point planned operation. I will also start documenting progress with occasional photos (got some major decluttering to do first). For now, here is the final as-built track plan.

    Beautiful Key units Bill. I reserved an F3 AB set in Eagle freight colors with Roger a while back. Time to start saving my change <g src=

    That’s a GREAT looking layout. The back drops , especially at Olean, create a lot of depth. I like the use of model trees, then the mid-distance painted ones, then the blue-grey hazy appearance for the far-off trees. Very convincing!
