This blog is to document the building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie. The free-lance design is set in the current time, and meant to replicate the coal-hauling roads of southwestern Pennsylvania. This version of the P&LE is a bridge line that derives its name from my wife's home town (and well known to Illinois Central buffs) and our former long time residence about 50 miles south of Lake Erie.

Ready for electronics


All bench work is done, the lower level buss wires are in (photo left), and the plywood sub roadbed is nearly all in place. Time now for the electronics (i.e. move and consolidate the Digitrax power system -- David James expertise) and we'll be ready to start laying track on the lower level. It's moving quickly, thanks largely to David and Ken Heyl.
