This BLOG will chronicle the design and construction of a proto-freelance HO scale model railroad. I've based this layout on the area that I grew up in. This line is no longer in use but I will try to keep it alive in my own way. The purpose of the layout is to enjoy running trains. PERIOD. It will not be prototypical to any era or road. I just want to run trains that have or could have run on the line through Starkville, MS. plus a few extras.

Back in the train room again!!!!
Over the weekend, I made the time to get back to work in the train room. This time, it was work on the room itself making it more comfortable to be in. Like most modelers need to do, I spent several hours CLEANING out the room. I've got tons of boxes of stuff I know I'll never use so it's got to go. After a little cleaning, I hung the rest of the underlayout curtains and started installing carpet squares. The better half has been on me to get the room usable by the rest of the family so that was my weekend project. Here's a before and after pic of the carpet work.

Everything looks great, especially with the new curtains and carpet tiles. If I may ask, what color/mix/paint brand did you use for your sky backdrop? All of this really works well.
Thanks. I still haven't had the time to get back in there and really work on it. Hopefully soon. I used Sherwin Williams paint but I don't remember what color I used for the sky. I just picked a blue that looked good under the type lights I have.
