http://maparr1943.blogspot.com/2015/08/mitzel-coal-trestle-ready-to-take.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. Mitzel Coal Trestle ready to take deliveries. After my last post I continued working on the Mitzel Coal trestle deck and I installed it after shaving down and painting the foam. I also sprinkled a little bit of black sanded grout around it. The picture below shows the finished trestle. Does it look convincing? August 11, 2015 at 11:41 AM. August 18, 2015 at 12:55 AM. Thanks for the feedback, its always appreciated. :).

Lehigh Valley Harbor Terminal Railway. Modeling the LVRR's Jersey City waterfront operations circa 1953. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Well, it's the day after the big Shakedown #3, and I must say, it wasn't too bad. Was it uneventful? No Was it a disaster? No, not really! Was it fun and insightful? Not too many really "horrible" issues need to be addressed to allow the RR to run smoothly and as planned, and they can be fixed relatively quickly and cheaply, or so I think! Here's what I have effectionately...

Michigan Model Railroader: Detroit & Mackinac: Childhood Recollections
http://michiganmodelrailroader.blogspot.com/2014/01/detroit-mackinac-childhood-recollections.html
A blog about HO scale model railroading. Saturday, January 11, 2014. Detroit and Mackinac: Childhood Recollections.

DM974 passing through Harrisville. This one is a bi...
