Descriptions of the construction progress of my new Florida model railroad featuring the line from Lakeland to Punta Gorda. Originally a journal of RV trips throughout the United States and Canada with Patti and Bob. Also photo documentation of the progress on my Maryland model railroad, the Allegheny and Shenandoah, a mythical class one line connecting Strasburg VA. with Elkins WV.

Watkins Glenn
We went back for the 2010 version of the annual classic car race. Here is the start of one of the featured races and a shot of some of the cars trying to squeeze through turn one together.
The brewery is a model I built this summer for a friend in my operating group. He has roots in the Wisconsin area so a brewery theme on his railroad is a natural for him. This model is over five feet long and gives a major industrial flavor to this corner of the layout. I kitbashed it out of flour mill and icing platform kits together with quite a few feet of PVC tubing:) Schmidt is his last name so the signage was a no brainer. I built it to go on one wall but Ron decided to make an "L" out of it by moving one set of storage tanks to the end wall, a change that really improved the model.
