Drywall is complete in the railroad room. Now the painting (starting with primer Monday) begins with yours truly wielding the brush and/or roller. Some decisions have been made. It will be a single level with a unscenicked, return loop/staging area on a slightly lower (~12") level. I finally gave in to a reality check about working underneath something only 36-40 inches off the floor, plus we really need some storage area to be available underneath the railroad (moving from a house to a condo you know). Nothing is on paper yet, but ideas are starting to crystallize about the design. There will be coal mines on Howard Mountain, a small steel mill reminiscent of the one in my hometown, a gravel pit (steel mills use a lot of sand and gravel), the engine facility built by Dean Freytag, a replica of the Station Inn B&B kit bashed by Ken Heyl, and a greatly condensed version of the Paducah flood wall. I'm looking forward to getting started.
