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.

Mainline Sub-Roadbed Complete!




The sub-roadbed for the mainline is complete as of 8:30 pm (CST) today. Top photo shows me driving the final drywall screw as Bob Gouirand looks on. The next two photos are views of some of the completed sub-roadbed. Tomorrow (Thursday) starts the laying down of the foam roadbed (I use Woodland Scenics and really like it), and I hope also to get some track work complete. David James arrives from Cleveland Friday and we'll get a lot of the electronics in, and hopefully complete the helix.
