Denny, has been in touch with his simple model railroad loop.

He’s building it ‘backwords’, as you’ll read:

“Building it backwards. With the help of my artist friend Stacia we have made some good progress.

What I mean by building it backwards is this. No matter how well one masks off the track, plaster slop always seems to get on the track.

And being that two sides of this layout are against walls. I decided to do the back wall scenery first then lay the track.

Being that one has to climb up on the table this actually worked out very well. We were able to do the scenery without messing up the track.

Now my layout has no theme. With small grand kids that just like to see the trains run. Or when they’re running them All of my layouts have had a continuous loop that the kids can start and stop. But also there is a branch line for switching.

I also like a purpose not just a model railroad loop. (Not just a bunch of tracks) So my branch line will be servicing many businesses and industries.

Living out here in the Desert south west, Pahrump Nevada 51 miles northwest of Las Vegas we are surrounded by mountains. (The first pic is across the street from my lower shop)

So here is a series of pictures of the work so far.

The buildings are just placed. No final placement as of now.

But as we continue I’ll keep you updated
