Upcoming Talks and a Sneak Peek at a New Project

 I will be presenting two talks at the start of May about railroading in the Civil War.

The first is at the Carolinas RPM Meet on May 3-4 in Greensboro NC. You can get more information about the meet at https://cmrgreensboro.org/calendar/rpm-carolinas-may2025/

The second talk is the same topic at the Chesapeake Forum in Easton, MD on May 7th. You can get more information about it at https://chesapeakeforum.org/course/railroads-of-the-civil-war/  Note, they are charging a fee for admission. 

Next, I started working on a new project for my model railroad. I started off by getting a supply of scale lumber. Any guesses on what it might be?

Hint, I discussed this project on my blog before. It is a structure.

  1. Either a new dock or a big station. Or maybe a lumber yard...

    Good guess, but not correct.

  3. I can't guess, but I know it will be amazing. Your blog and pike are very inspirational to me. I am building a 54mm-scale diorama based on City Point, VA. I wish I had your model-making skills. Looking forward to seeing your new structure project! --Gary inTexas
