It seems that pretty much everyone has moved their "blog-style' documentation of their layouts over to the Facebook platform. It's not a bad idea as it is a really easy way to find and discuss good hobby-related content. Please head on over there to join the group and see the latest updates related to my layout!

Youtube User "Boomer Dioramas" has a whole host of really fantastic videos showing off the fun that can be had with a very limited amount of space. His modeling and insights must not be missed!
People seem to really respond to any video that I put out showing trains running on the layout. (probably because it is proof that I am ACTUALLY making forward progress, slow though it may be.)
So I decided to put out a video of just trains. This first one is a learning experience, but one of the more enjoyable videos I've produced so far, so be ready for many more in the future!
