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.

Planning ahead.....
I'm almost done with laying track so I'm starting to plan for the next stage; scenery and structures. One of the first structures I want to tackle is Crawford Grain pictured here. I've been trying to find some large grain bins that match these but not had much luck. The Walther's bins are about as close as I can find but aren't anywhere near big enough. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
