Got a little more work done on the Washington St overpass. A little weathering and added some bolt head details. Also thickened up the deck for better support. Hope to get this one in place by the end of the week.
I also started working on another trestle that will cross a small drainage ditch on a spur track just past Washington street. Got the bents done. This one should be simple. After it, I've got a triple track trestle for the main that crosses the same drainage ditch. Ready to get these downtown Starkville bridges done!!!
Lastly, I did some cleaning and organizing. This chest of drawers is an old typesetting storage piece my father had in his printing office years ago. The drawers are perfect for HO scale!!
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.
