Hello Christian! I am so happy to see your post. Stay for good we have missed you!Hello Bruette ! I'm back. Maybe for only a few seconds. Only God knows...
Very interesting thread. I look forward to seeing your progress.
I was given some good advice "a little every day, when possible" It has helped me. I would get discouraged and do nothing because I knew I could not work for hours. Doing even a few minutes when I can has helped me so much. I have not worked on the permanent layout. I got sidetracked with Christmas Trains, but I'm loving it!Just got caught up here…. Bruette, I know how you feel. I am still relatively young at 47, but was diagnosed with lupus a few years back. Unfortunately it has progressed to fairly severe arthritis, and after a hard days work all I really want to do is relax my aching joints. But I really want this layout, love this hobby and all that comes with it, good and bad lol Please keep us up to date, will enjoy following along
Christian, the BGR has been put on a sidetrack for now.
I love that idea.Christian, the BGR has been put on a sidetrack for now.
I was busy with Christmas trains and loving it!
The BGR will occupy two thirds of my attic. In my small office area of the attic, I have space for a special Christmas Tree. The special Tree belonged to my late sister, Theresa. It was her first tree after she got married. After my divorce I lost all my Christmas stuff. Theresa gave this tree to me. My plan is to build a platform for this tree and decorate it with Lionel Christmas ornaments. And of course, a Lionel train or two running underneath. This should fill any free time I have in the near future.
I will return to the BGR!
Very good news !I will return to the BGR!
Hey Paul! Just for clarification. Those are not kits. They are both ready out of the box, plug-n-play.found two beautiful kits
Yes, it was!It's Christmas in April for Louis
I'm guilty of owning a couple of ready built structurers tooHey Paul! Just for clarification. Those are not kits. They are both ready out of the box, plug-n-play.
I don't put anything together. I have almost zero artistic skill and my creativity is all but nonexistent.
Guilty, hell I'm proud and grateful they make them!I'm guilty of owning a couple of ready built structurers too
I don't have any artistic skill either but while nothing I've built and painted is going to win any awards I'm pretty happy with them. Give a kit a try you may surprise yourself
You're right. "Guilty" is the wrong word. Both of my ready built structures were a gift from my mother. She loves those thingsGuilty, hell I'm proud and grateful they make them!
My hands are all but useless at this point in my life. Even with capable hands I wasn't qualified to use crayons. It's a good thing there were no tests on crayons in elementary school. If they did, I'd still be struggling to fit into those little desks!
Don't sell yourself short LouisI have almost zero artistic skill and my creativity is all but nonexistent.
You are a kind and generous man, thank you.Don't sell yourself short Louis
I bet you have plenty!
