#58 - December Status Report
December 29, 2011
The end of the year often brings with it summaries and retrospectives, and the concept of the top-ten list can be a useful framework for addressing a subject of interest. So, what follows is a top-ten list...
#55 - September Status Report
October 09, 2011
In this installment we’ll look at some temporary additions to the EnterTRAINment Junction (EJ) Layout consistent with the Halloween theme most ably represented by the Jack O’Lantern Junction Halloween Event. Just beyond the parking lot for the main underground subway terminal and adjacent to it, a Halloween party is underway...
#53 - July Status Report
July 30, 2011
In this installment we’ll look at some new scenes that have been added to the EnterTRAINment Junction (EJ)
Layout as well as a great new addition to the train expo center. As usual, the descriptions mostly follow the order in which you would see the described items as you follow the aisle in sequence from entrance to exit.
No self respecting imaginary city would be complete without a superhero, and the Middle Period city is no exception. You’ll have to look sharp to find this masked and caped champion of good railroading.
#52- May Status Report
May 31, 2011
In this installment we’ll look at some of the recent changes to the Modern City. As usual, the descriptions mostly follow the order in which you would see the described items as you follow the aisle in sequence from entrance to exit. As you exit the tunnel from the Middle Period, the first thing you’ll notice on the layout is a steel girder road bridge leading into the city. Though it ends at the plexiglass barrier, the viewer must assume that it continues beyond the edge of the layout.
#51 - April Status Report
April 30, 2011
This installment will look at some of the new things added to the layout recently. As usual, the descriptions mostly follow the order in which you would see the described items as you follow the aisle in sequence from entrance to exit. The first addition shown is the new lumber yard in the Middle Period city. It’s right across the aisle from the large locomotive wheel museum exhibit. The photo was taken from the steps up to the mezzanine.
I have two little boys who LOVE trains! We visited EnterTRAINment Junction a few weeks ago and they will not stop talking about it:) Thanks for such a great place to take our kids!
