    Greetings all,
    Thought I'd post three photos, from my Rail Images gallery, showing current state of an N scale Foamrail module I'm building.
    Questions/comments/suggestions are most welcome!!!

    First pic is a general view of module end loop.

    Next, we have a look toward the locomotive facilities. Car repair shop is going to be added on the left, where cars are being switched by the Rio Grande GP60.

    Last, we get a bit closer look at the locomotive shop. Again, car repair goes in where cars are seen, in foreground.

    Again, any/all questions/comments /suggestions welcome!
    Thanks.

    Keith-

    For some reason, am unfamiliar with Foamrail. I did a search, and found a model RR club that must be in your area. Is the concept local? Or more widespread? Do you have a link to further information?

    :D

    Foamrail is the name given by BMRC members, when foam module construction began. This took place while I was away from the club.

    You can find more about the BMRC from the club website, here:

    http://bcn.boulder.co.us/recreation/bmrc/bmrcindex.html

    Includes membership info, dues, meeting night/location as well as HO and N scale modular SIG information.

    As far as I'm aware, Foamrail is local to BMRC only. Although, that doesn't mean someone couldn't build a modular layout, based on Foamrail, using the specs online.

    Hope this helps.

    Have managed to get a bit more scenery done on my end loop this evening.
    Once I get some color down on the bare Rigid Wrap, I'll try and get a couple of updated photos posted! Slowly getting there. Not looking too bad, considering I'm building as I go, without any sort
    of plan!!
    Of course, comments/suggestions/ etc..welcome.

    Finally got a few photos taken, with new scenery this morning.

    Everything on the outside of the mainline is new.
    The blue strofoam blocks seen still need to be cut/sanded down. Getting there, slowly!
