Just thought I'd check in...
I was reminded by one of my fellow N-scalers that I hadn't posted in a while, so I thought I'd drop a line a let everyone know that the Glasgow family is doing fine. I'm adjusting to my new schedule with my new job, so I've just been lurking when I could steal a few minutes to get on The Gauge...
BTW, the posting rate on this board has been phenomenal. There is no way I'm going to be able to catch up!
Work on the Copper Ridge is somewhat on a hiatus while the company awaits the results of a new bond election. Hopefully by the end of this coming week the company will have funds to continue construction. Construction of the mining complex has been delayed pending landscaping work that needs to be completed (which will require more funds). Also of particular concern are the two bridges. Civil engineers have been busy studying and designing the spans over the Copper Canyon on the eastern end of the layout. Hopefully construction of the permanent bridges will begin soon.
In the meantime, however, I have been entertaining myself with a couple of small dioramas. One is complete and features Thomas the Tank Engine pulling Annie and Clarabel across a section of his branch line. The other is about halfway completed and includes a kitbashed station and will have trees and a short freight (or maybe passenger) train. I'll post pictures of these sometime soon...
