I received a couple messages from folks asking me to participate in this forum. I have been a member for quite a while but haven't posted much as I tend to post my regular progress on my blog. So if you are curious about the progress on my O scale layout depiciting the American Civil War era check out my blog at http://usmrr.blogspot.com
Here are some shots from my blog showing some of the scenes that are further along. It's still very much a work in progress.

That's a fantastic layout!
I really like the overall look of what you have done this far and the backdrops look very realistic. I also really like the Potomac bridge.
Great stuff! |
Built a waterfront HO layout in Ireland http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22161 but now making a start in On30 in Australia |

Bernie,
I've been following your blog for months and although I was disappointed that you'd left the N scale world, you're creating another wonder in O.
I'm using your C&O Brooke Yard trackplan as the basis for my DELMARVA based N scale layout (on this forum Eastern Shore in N). Thank you for the inspiration and I look forward to watching the progress of your USMRR.

Bernard, I took a look at your blog as well. Lots of good modeling and historical information. I will visit your blog more in future to look through your older posts as well as keep track of your new progress.
I do hope you continue to post progress here as well. |

I'd like to see your track plan to see how you adapted it to work for you. Can you post it or send a copy?

I like the way the scenery blends into the backdrop in the second picture. The backdrop is painted, right? Oil or acrylic?
