Construction Logs

I decided to build a HO layout in my shed so I can still do something with trains when it is.

• a. to hot to work on the G guage layout (usually over Summer) or
• b. it is to dark, i.e night time, to work on the Large Scale railway.

I had some models and trackage from a previous HO layout I had many years ago and was gifted a DCC system by the wife of a friend who passed away.  

This forms the basis for the layout
