A New Project for a New Year

I have decided to make a change to my H0 scale layout, The Owensville Terminal OASIS District. I am adding a shelf extension to the left side of the layout that will curve around a wall corner and connect to another shelf (8" x 96"). My Wetterau Food Services Micro Layout will be on that shelf. The micro layout will now be part of my home layout. It will be utilized as a destination for a local working south out of Fourth Street Yard (OASIS District).

I have accepted the call to pastor a church that is out of my local area, and it will require me to move into a church parsonage. I look forward to moving into that community, but I sure will miss the house we live in right now.
