Some recent pics on the layout. Been busy painting roiling stock, etc. Sometimes I need to take a break from video production to do the things I love to do. Cheers.

I don't know about all of you, but I make a list every year about what I want to accomplish on the model railroad. I meet some of my goal's. The goal's I don't meet are put on the next list.

River Road is far from finished and it probably never will be officially finished as I keep adding to it with no end in site. This is what I love about it.

In the meantime, I will divert my attention to the list of unfinished projects like locomotives and rolling stock with some updates throughout the remainder of this winter. I have no time to build IPEX plastics right now, because I need a table saw and all my wood cutting is done outside in the summer.

Then there is the Tug - Seaspan Corsair (for section one) which (if all things go according to plan), which they often don't, I hope to try and finish as well. Cheers.

Next Sunday is part 3 for the X-Southern Pacific SD9 Conversion. Should be around 5 to 6 parts I think. Then there will be a "BIG" layout update with loads of pics & video. Following the update there is another custom (Rapido) locomotive build that many have been patient to see as well. It should cover decoder install, some assembly and weathering. Cheers.

The Finale Episode of 2025 is the "Water Tower" build and paint this Sunday (12/28/2025). The water tower primarily completes the farm scene on section three. Many other details will be added to the farm scene as River Road and Section Three continues to develop and grow into 2026.
Happy New Year and thank you to all the loyal subscribers of 'Boomer Diorama.' ~ Cheers!
