For those of you who listen to podcasts on iTunes I’m on episode 152 of the Model Rail Radio podcast. I’m at about the 1 hour and 5 minute mark.

I went to the "Mad City" model railroad show in Madison, WI this morning. I didn't find anything to buy but I did capture some video of the modular layouts. Good stuff.

A little railfanning on the way home from downtown Chicago. You will see passenger cars from Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and Metra of course, including a Metro car in the Blue and Orange livery. Freight locomotives from CP, NS, CN and UP.

I still have to tape and mud the joints at some point but the panels are up. #modeltrainlayout #modeltrains

Just some clips of me running trains in various scales prior to and in the early days of my first layout. All aboard the fun train!

Well I literally bought out the local @Menards on these panels. They are all painted and up. Significant progress has been made. #3rail #Oscale #modeltrains

8 interesting facts about trains from the #historychannel https://t.co/FXA9pZaPco

I have been, gluing up furring strips, painting and putting up these panels. The corner panels are curved and I'm quite pleased that it worked. It is intentional that it is a sharper radius than the track. I wanted to minimize space loss but still have a decent curve.

[Marshall Trains @MarshallTrains]

Success! The curved corner idea appears to have worked! #3rail #Oscale #modeltrains

[Marshall Trains @MarshallTrains]

Starting to paint and put up background panels. The corner ones will be curved. Or at least that is the plan. We will see how it turns out. #3rail #Oscale #modeltrains

Adding some 1x4 furring strips. I will attach 1/8” hardboard to that so I can put up some sort of backdrop. No worries, I’m leaving plenty of gap all around so I should have no vapor barrier issues.
