Welcome!

This blog details the development and construction of my newest model railway. The biggest challenge I've set myself this time is the balancing act I need to pull off between my hobby and my MOW Crew Chief, Mr. Circus Peanut. I can't simply fire him (he's got a good union).

A Blank Slate

 I once wrote an article about re-imaging a computer system titled "The Cold Heat of Nuclear Fusion is Your Friend" and that phrase came to mind as I was stripping the table of all it's history.

After chipping, scouring, and rasping the table down to more-or-less flat, I painted it with a thick coat of beige latex and covered it with a generous layer of sifted subsoil from my land. After it dried, I swept off the excess and pronounced it passable. Better pack it up for now. It looks like a storm's a-comin'.
