The Great Scenery

Splurge of 2025

 

Scenery is mostly not what I do best. I much prefer working on rolling stock. Scenery is very tedious and time consuming. When working full time my truly precious limited weekend hours are usually devoted to making something with flanged wheels. And my “modern” modeling binge of over 3 years rolls on. Since 2020 I have threatened myself to do more ballasting “during the winter” but that has not happened yet until now.

 

I have had a hernia for a few years that never actually hurt. My Doctor was not very concerned about it so I left it alone, until 1 day in February 2025 it just felt different. Not an emergency on that day but was finally time to get it fixed. Hearing I would get 4-6 weeks off from work sealed the deal. I got my hernia fixed on 4-29-25. Knowing this time off was coming actually got me motivated a bit early. I have been doing some new ballasting already. My plan is to at least have the ballasting completely done before returning to work.

 

So let “The Great Scenery Splurge of 2025” begin……
