Title: Jonathan Layout #4
Post by: jonathan on May 27, 2026, 02:44:42 PM
Hello all!

I have had a long absence from the forum, for a number of personal reasons... not the least of which is that I retired for good and relocated to southwestern Ohio.  If any of you are near this area and know of an active MR club, I'd be interested.

My new home has a large, unfinished basement.  I have sectioned off a 16'X18' area to begin work on my final-final layout.  ;)  Now that I'm getting up there in years, my layout will be 48" high so I can scoot under the layout on a shop stool, for wiring and the like.

A couple of photos of my mega-maniacal plan:

More later.

I assume the B&O will make a return? Looking forward to this layout.

There are several clubs in SW Ohio. Do a Google search on Local Model RR Clubs.

Welcome back.
