After six years without a permanent layout, today I finally bought most of the lumber I will need to build my second permanent layout. The day Ophelia moves through my area I decide to buy lumber. That could be considered goofy! Thankfully when I came out of Home Depot the rain had stopped and the winds subsided, thank God!
The name BGR comes from Tony aka Wombat. He suggested the name BGR (Bruette Grand Railroad). I liked BGR but I thought goofy was more appropriate than grand for my railroad. On my first permanent layout I had mostly track, trains, and accessories, little in the way of scenery. The trains were mostly Lionel O, but I also had an oval of HO on the layout. Lionel Legacy and LionChief, MPC, other traditional scale and conventional powered Lione. Mixed with Tyco, Life-Like, Bachmann, and others. Goofy seemed to fit. I might even throw in some N scale with this second build.
Don't look for anything new or innovative on my layout. No weathering or anything artistic. I am lacking in creativity and artistic talent.
In my previous home I had a permanent layout. Since I moved, I have only had seasonal layouts. mostly Christmas layouts. I also had a couple of Halloween and Fourth of July layouts.
I started this thread to mark this day, and document my progress. My schedule is still full. Ophelia provided the opportunity and time to pick up the lumber today. Hopefully, it won't be another six years before I make more progress.
Your best wishes and blessings will be appreciated.
God Bless Us Everyone!
