I'm planning my first layout - HO scale industrial switching - and because I have 3 cats, was thinking of trying to create some sort of shadowbox shelf layout with a protective front cover, and you have given my a lot of ideas. BTW, the amount of operational details, and scenery components you're creating is stunning. * subscribed *

Thanks. I have a cat now, he is too old to jump up on the layout now, but when I started building it he used to like walking on the roadbed and go through the hole in the wall. As he got older I stacked boxes up for him to climb up on the upper level, however once I laid tracks he didn't like the feeling of walking on them. these days I have a chair in the room that he will sleep on while I work. my wife says we will get another car after this one passes, so I may be glad I have built the layout this way as well.

Man, you have really planned this out well. Great walk through and explanations. The fascia transformed everything nicely. It really helps to highlight and showcase the layout. If I could summarize the entire project thus far I would say very neat work.

I really like the defect aspect of the operation. That is a really neat way to make the "repair" facilities useful other than being a visual placeholder. Also adds a bit of switching for shops and hostlers.

Great progress, even if summer has not impressed the rest of the family. I can envisage plenty of train "lost" in the wilderness scenes as this progresses. Wonderful is an old fashioned word but surely appropriate to the era you are portraying.
