Forget Coal Country, The Northern Central is Back

02/22/202103/18/2022 Ed Kapuscinski

I miss my old Windsor Street Yard layout. While my coal country project was interesting, it just didn’t have the excitement (read, variety) I was really craving.

It’s been a while since I posted an updated on my Coal Country layout and so I figured it was time. Progress has been occuring, but there’s nothing terribly exciting to see yet. I am lucky enough to be close enough to the area I’m modeling to visit. Even better, a friend of mine works […]

10/16/201903/18/2022 Ed Kapuscinski

New house, new space, new project: it’s only taken a year. This time? We’re going up to coal country. Hard Coal Country.
