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.

easy spline anyone?
For the sub-roadbed where the terrain was not going to be level, I decided to try Joe Fugate's "Easy Spline" method. I love it. I used 2" Masonite strips at first but will be swapping to 7/8ths inch. His method flows easy and transitions in curves are automatic. Photos taken 11 May, 2008
