If you ever fret over what you haven't gotten around to yet (whether it be scenery, structures, freight car kits, etc), take some time to review what you
have accomplished. I did that recently, going through my "Layout Construction" folder of photos. And I'm not gonna lie - I was pretty impressed with all the progress that's been made over the last few years, with a LOT of help from my friends.
 |
| Sometimes, extreme lengths (heights?) are gone to . . . |
 |
| Bill surveying the, um, "progress" in Old Saybrook. Looks much better these days... |
 |
| One of my favorites - Tom, Dick, and Pete (I really need a friend named "Harry") in the middle of moving a door to make way for the Shore Line. |
 |
| And then, laying down on the job... |
 |
| Bill working in the Goff Brook area, right at the Rocky Hill/Wethersfield town line. |
 |
| Starting New London staging |
 |
| Even dad was able to help install the girders in New London when he came to visit. |
 |
| Randy & Joseph adding feeders on the New London/East End loop. |
 |
| Tom working under the West End loop - New Haven staging not even in yet. |
 |
| Bill & Pete working on the north end of Rocky Hill |
 |
| Roman & Joseph adding more feeders in New London. |
 |
| Dick & Randy modifying DCC UN-friendly turnouts. |
 |
| Tom, Pieter & Dick wiring toggles. |
 |
| Roman & Joseph at New London again, doing feeders. |
 |
| Randy surveying something (maybe where to install switch machines?) |
 |
| Rosie, supervising |
 |
| Working on the approach into Shailerville from Middletown (in the other room) - and some added motivation to keep my cookie consumption in check... |
 |
| Roman & Dick working on the lift out |
 |
| The Great SawzAll-ing of New Year's Eve Eve, 2013 - preparing to install Goff Brook Bridge. |
 |
| Randy installing track at - believe it or not - Wethersfield (including the infamous passing siding) |
 |
| Rosie reviewing my track planning |
 |
| One of the first "Layout Construction" progress photos I took - showing "proof of concept" - that I'd actually be able to fit Middletown, with the quadrant track, and a prototype-length train. October 29, 2011 |
