The Saratoga Mine scene is finished!


It's taken over thirty years for my scratchbuilt model of Malcolm Furlow's Saratoga Mine to find a permanent home on this my first layout since I was 9 years old.  The mine tramway is now complete and in place.  Next job is to repair all the damage to various other areas and scenes of the layout that I've bumped and banged over the last 6 months!  Then I can get to look at the depot scene. That will be a challenge.

  1. Hi Barry,

    I found again how to comment on your blog. Let this be proof. The comment option does not appear until I click on the link (blue text) for each section,yet your photos and titles show in the email when it comes.

    Good job all round on the mine scene and sign. You make more of a scrap box than anyone else I know.

    Congrats on getting this all finished-and glaring white plaster all gone.

    Best,

    Graham

  2. Thanks Graham, The comments system is flaky. I fear my scrapbox is looking a bit thin after this year. I need to get round what few hobby shops are left in the W Midlands and see what I can pick up to re-stock it.
