Update April 2013

So spring is well under way and the weather is starting to warm up outside. There hasn't been much progress on the railroad as I have been fairly busy with other things. As you may or may not have noticed, the NS&PRR now has it's own website (nsprr.webs.com) in addition to the Blogspot (nsprr.blogspot.com). My plan is to have about one to two updates per month and I will post to both websites to keep all the information up to date. Also with this new website, I'm moving all my other railroad related projects to the North Shore Locomotive Works, which will be a fictional "division" of the NSPRR. You can find updates for these projects under NSLW on the NSPRR website. So far on the railroad, the number one priority of finishing the tank for #3 remains. The remaining two side walls need to be fabricated and test fitted before assembly. I have also continued to work on the depot that has been an ongoing project. I do not know where it will go on the layout yet but I know it will be used since I like the look and it will also pay homage to my first railroad, the Grand Valley Western. I'm hoping that I can have the next update out some time in early May, and hopefully with some progress.

Update 4/9/13

Well nothing really new has happened as of late. Life had kept me fairly busy recently and I haven't had much time for my railroad projects. I have weathered a Shell 40' Tank Car and my childhood Santa Fe 50' Reefer. Also I have continued painting my depot that I may use for the main station on the NS&PRR. I plan to continue working on 7395 and 2307 as well.
