We haven't done any updates or photos in a while, but work has been steadily ongoing.
Today it seemed like everybody had a hammer or a glue stick or soldering iron or plaster on their fingers or track cleaning goop in their hands. Last Sunday before Christmas and everybody was swinging for the fences working on the layout, followed by a fun operating session.

DCC Decoder Clinic getting going this Sunday. Pick up an engine at HobbyTown, or bring one of your own. This is a "101" level class, so let's avoid steamers, Athearn Blue Box, or other similarly tricky/er projects. E's, Fs, PA's those are fun and easy. See you Sunday. Remember that the back door to the store is unlocked. That's how you get into Sunday afternoon trains if its your first time. See you at 1pm.
