And so it begins...

The intent of this blog is to record my activity as I start a new hobby by building an N-scale model railroad in a portion of my basement.  The layout will be based on the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad's Northern Division, the majority of which is former Milwaukee Road trackage heading north and west from the city of Milwaukee toward Horicon and eventually Oshkosh.

As of now, I intend for most of the content I post to be photos of progress being made with some brief comments and notation.  That may change as time goes on.  Up first, some pictures of the demolition and finishing of the expanded area.

Starting to demolish wall between "train room" and the utility area in the basement.  Will be adding and area approximately 5' x 6' to the existing 8' x 10' area designated for the layout.

Wall removed.  Time for clean-up.

Framing complete for the addition.

Drywall is up in the new area.

On deck for next weekend -- Taping and mudding.
