2018-19 Annual Progress Report

I can't believe the layout is six years old now and it's come a long way in that time. So let's get to it.

Track 100% complete to the original plan, plus industrial sidings in Johnstown.

Wiring 99% Complete, no I still haven't done the engine yard at Altoona. Now quit bugging me about it.

DCC Conversion: System install 100% complete, PRR Fleet 100% complete, NS Fleet: 60% complete. (Yeah, I copied and pasted this part from last year).

Scenery: 98% complete. Johnstown is in the detailing phase. After that, Altoona is the final frontier.

Last year, my goal was to get all the scut work like rail painting and ballasting done and over with. I came close. Altoona is the only part of the layout requiring these now.

My other goal was to finish Johnstown. I know, this part of the layout is taking a long time to finish. Frankly, I haven't been very motivated to work on the layout lately, as evidenced by the lack of blog entries. Right now I have a lot of other things competing for what precious little spare time I have.

On top of this, I have quite a few locomotives in need of repair and the list just seems daunting. But I'm not giving up. I guess my goal for this season is to get my fleet back in operation, finish Johnstown and formulate a plan for Altoona.
