    Hello fellow Trainboarders. After a long hiatus I have re-boarded. The reason for my absence has been family issues (none with myself) and have recently moved back to Florida.

    Some of you may remember I had started on the Stillwater Central while living in Oklahoma. With the move to Florida what progress I had made had to be dismantled. We now live in a nice apartment complex and of course real estate is at a premium. Therefore, I have decided to negotiate for enough space for a HCD. I do have an ambassador fighting for my cause, my 10 year old granddaughter who is helping with the planning stages. I am going to start with one that I had before and I will post the plan in the Layout Discussion Forum.

    My new pike will be named Black Diamond & Augusta Railroad. The name is derived from the two streets that run through our apartment complex. I have not decided on industries as of yet. Check for the BD & A in the Layout Discussion Forum.

    Looking forward to participating again.

    Welcome back Charles! :)I always enjoyed your layout design threads. The progression of different variations alone were excellent material to see the difference possible when taking design seriously. I'll look forward to seeing your progression on the Black Diamond and Augusta! :D :D

    Welcome back from a new guy here on TB. The new layout plan sounds like a winner to me. And being that I'm a big fan of "fauxtotyping", I like the name. :)
