N and HO Layout With Lumber Town

January 14, 2013

Arlin sent in this update of his layout:

“My layout is a mixture of some old and more recent era which depicts many small lumber communities in Oregon. The wiring under the deck has been slow because I’m not able to get under and my neighbor has been helping in his free time, so that has me at a stand still. We are in the process of connecting the lights for most all structures and street lights. In the corner of the layout will be a stream, waterfall and lake with a camp ground. I have added a hobo camp in a front corner so kids can see it up close. The N scale is lake a back drop to the HO and will feature a small town and farm scenes. Back drop scenery is also in the works. It seems to never end! That is why my wife refers to me as “Chug Along Arlin.”
