Scott's Introduction

Hello everyone! Ron introduced me the other day. I'll be posting here off and on, mainly with kit builds/reviews and a few tips. I have my own blog for my model railroad - The Bayside & Tidewater. If you never been there before, or haven't visited in a while, you should drop in to see what I've been doing with my newest layout.

Ron asked me a while ago if I would be interested in helping out with the Scratchbuilder's Guild. I wasn't sure how it would work in with my own blog (I didn't want to take anything away from either one) so I had to think about it. I decided that I could probably link the two without cheating Ron or myself, so here I am.

As Ron mentioned in a recent post, I will be building the the Frenchmen River Model Works tugboat. While I'm waiting for that to arrive I'm going to make a few posts on ballasting track since I'm working on that in the town of Derwin's Drop on the BS&T. So, it seemed like a good topic to start with. I also re-discovered a neat fence idea that I'll be working on, so I'll likely create a post on that as well.

Anyway, that's enough writing for now. I've got to go shovel a few tons of ballast!

Later!

Scott
