The story so far



A photo of my space in the basement, you can see the lighting is set up, and the wall brackets with the modules are assembled as well. At the moment, I am working on the track plan - Two Harbors will be on the right, with the ore and merchandise docks taking up the rightmost module. Knife river will be on the left, and behind the point of the photo will eventually be Endion.

The space in the basement was a den when we bought the house (couches came with it - not a bad thing), so my modeling goals included keeping the use of the space as a game and TV room as well. The halogen track lights show up as uneven spots, but these are not as obvious in person, and when I take photos of models on the layout, I can reposition the lights to make things more even - consider it the lighting framework for the stage which is the layout. Perhaps in the future, I'll get some blue rope lights and set up a night scene as well.
