Overview Shot from early 2020

 I didn't fully realize how far behind I was on my photo intake process until this evening when I started looking through memory cards - yikes!

Anyway, here is a good overview shot; I'm standing inside the Doswell/Staging area "pit", looking towards the rest of the railroad. At right, the turnback curve between XR and Hamilton, in the distance at center left is Milford. To the far back left is North Doswell.


The Doswell bridge area in the foreground is MUCH cleaner than it is in this shot now.

Future Plans

 Ops didn't happen due to scheduling concerns. January is shot already, but February might be a possibility.

Some progress has been made on the railroad so I hope to post up some pictures and what not in the next few days.

I do have articles pending for both the LDSig and OPSig magazines so once they get published, I will note it here.

Ops in November and December

 Keep a lookout for email announcing operating sessions in November and December.

We will probably keep the sessions small due to COVID but the basement is large enough that we can maintain social distance.

Backdrops Done for now

 The backdrops around the peninsulas are done. Still debating about painting the wall areas - that's more involved as I have to paint primer first (I use Kilz) and then go for blue.

If I can remember and get motivated, I will pull some shots off the camera this week.

Backdrop Work Proceding

Work on backdrops has continued throughout the last couple of months.

I was able to paint backdrops from the river scene into the space between the peninsulas. You can also see the subroadbed in place in these shots.

Op Session Snaps

The session photographer was a bit short.
And yes, an RS3 is out of era for the layout.
