Layout Plan

I posted for the first time on this blog last week, and I am now ready to reveal to you many people, (I kid), who are currently following my newly formed blog what my plans are for my layout.  As I mentioned in my previous post I am getting married this coming June, and I am currently living in Maine for the school year, so my modules are all at home.  Since I'm in Maine and home for me is in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, its quite clear that I am doing no work on my layout at this time.  However, my layout plan...in time...is to recreate certain portions of CN's Sussex Sub located in southern New Brunswick.  I am not too picky with an era, however seeing as I grew up seeing Dash 9's, SD40's and SD75i's, I'm aiming for a running time of 90's and younger.  At the moment I have almost 20 modular frames built, here is a photo from my phone showing what they look like, both a straight section, a curved, and finally on the side is my most 'completed' at this time.

Modules
This is really all I can show for now, as it is all that is completed, sadly...but I will hold true to my one post per week vow and continue that next week with a review of a recent tank car I bought back in January.

Stay tuned...!

Hello

Hello one and all,

I am beginning a new blog that will pertain entirely to my learning experiences while I try my hand at model railroading.  If you're wondering about the name, its because I grew up on the south shore of Nova Scotia, yes I am a maritimer and proud of it!  I have tried my luck with blogger before for both real railfanning and model railroading, but never took the time to update it properly, nor did I take any of it seriously.  I hope to post at least once a week on here, as I am finishing my fourth year in Bible college and am getting married in June...but I will still try to remain faithful in posting regularly on here.  If you've read this far, thank you, here goes nothing!
