The Northwestern Pacific Today

Something interesting is happening in Marin and Sonoma counties, north of San Francisco Bay.

After eight years of effective abandonment, the old Northwestern Pacific line is being reinvigorated and returned to service - at least up to Ukiah and Willits.

You can get the latest at Christian Goepel's Northwestern Pacific Today, a photo- and news-blog dedicated to following the NWP. And Christian is taking some great pictures along the way.

Geez, It's Dusty In Here

Nope, not dead; just not modeling.

The layout bug is itching something fierce, though. It's going to have to be more of a switching layout - I don't have a lot of room for broad curves. This is okay; I recently purchased two Athearn Genesis Milwaukee Road MP-15ACs with sound, and they haven't run yet.

Of course, I don't have a DCC system yet, either.

Anybody know of a good way to get rid of a bunch of excess HO scale stuff?
