Making it a fourth day of blog posts in a row . . . Here are a few random fun things for this edition of "Friday Fun"...
 |
| Some of you have asked for a trackplan of the layout to help orient you - especially after seeing some of the videos. This (and a lot of other great content, IMO) is also available on the Valley Local Website (ICYMI :^) The plan is included in MRP'26 (see below). |
 |
| I don't mind mentioning (perhaps again) that the Valley Local got pride of place on the cover of Tony Koester's latest book! That's the 'local northbound at Rocky Hill, photo by Dan Munson. I just got my copy earlier this week, which prompted the pic :^) |
 |
| Just as cool though is the fact that the layout also got a few pages' coverage right at the start of Chapter Three. SO neat to see it in print! |
 |
| I also recently got my first-ever feature article on the layout published in this year's edition of Model Railroad Railroad Planning. In it, I provide a comprehensive overview of the project from conception to current status. |
 |
| Lastly, the 'local - or, more specifically, my latest weathering job on a Rapido 44-tonner, was featured in a recent edition of Rapido News. |
I can't tell you how cool - and how humbling - it is for The Valley Local to get all this exposure. The layout certainly has a LONG way to go before it's even at a "level of completeness" - but seeing it in print has really lit a fire in me to keep making progress! So glad you're willing to join me on this journey :^)
