1 - So It Begins

We've finally began construction of our model railroad empire. Well not really empire but a pretty good layout for beginners like us. Since this is our fist go round with railroading we decided to go with a kit. The Grand Valley layout to be exact.


Here is a picture of the completed layout (from manufacturer website)


We also decided on a fairly simple locomotive and control system.





Ofcourse we'll be adding freight cars and a caboose to the locomotive as soon as we pick some out!

Check back for updates!!!

Looks like a great start to me, guys! I'm impressed with the looks of the layout. As you know, Christmas is rapidly approaching, which means you will certainly be able "railroad" me into some gift ideas (pun intended). C U Later, and Happy Railroading!
