Layout Progress Video #1
Here is the first of what I hope to be many layout progress videos. I hope you like it!
I have enjoyed following along with your planning and construction blogs. This video was fun to see. I have one comment that I hope you won't find too nit-picky (and which you are free to ignore). Having grown up in Spokane, and having visited the Metaline/Metaline Falls area a couple times, I'm 98% certain it is pronounced "Meta-leen", not "meta-line". BTW, I rode one of the local Lions Club excursions back in 1981 from Ione to Metaline Falls behind Pend Oreille Valley RS-11 #102. I have a few photos from that trip. If you're interested in seeing them, send me an e-mail ( potlatcher@charter.net ) and I will attach them to my reply. Good luck with your continued modeling exploits. I look forward to following along. Tom H
