Me too....I think this was from a joke book that came from 3rd grade book club.

Required reading, if I remember correctly.

Ooo... Advanced fifth grade stuff. Nice.

Hi Guys. Ended up with today off from work (too many people) and spent the day running errands.

Sleeping a lot, but is comfortable and not in any pain at all.

Sleep can be healing. Glad to hear that it is a comfortable sleep too

Meet the B & S Railroad...(Beleaguere​d & Schizophrenic).

I'm posting these mainly for the benefit of my brother who has heard about this project, but has not yet seen it. It's about 3/4 finished on the lower lever, and less than 1/2 done on the upper level. There will be another leg of both levels of the layout against the wall (sliding door, actually) where I'm standing while taking the o'head shot. The portion to the left in the photo will also be two levels, but it's much easier to do the trackwork on the exposed lower level before building more benchwork above it.

The 'spiral' is called a helix, and it allows the trains to move from one level to the other without excessive grades. In this case, it's about 2 1/2%, and that's actually pretty steep for real railroads, but not so bad on a model. There's almost 40 ft of track from where the grade begins at the far end to where it returns to the upper level, although it doesn't look like that much. The rise is about a foot.

Except for the helix, I'm just starting to lay track (the expensive part of the process), so it will likely look very much like this for a while.

Some of the more eagle-eyed among you will likely notice that the bed is not made. That's because there's a 25-lb cat laying on it, and I didn't have the heart to move here.

That is really cool Chief.

*waves* HI EVERYONE!!


I have new hair. :) It was supposed to be purple, but I was the guinea pig for a new color line. It sucked. :lol: SO I have a really neat coppery/burgundy/weird​ish color instead.

I actually really like the accidental color! :)

I'll share photos tomorrow. If I feel like it. :lol:

Clarification for those who think my whole head is funky. It's just pieces of my hair. Most of it remains normal. :lol:
