This is a continuation of my original blog which documents the design and building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie, a free-lance bridge line set in the modern time to replicate the coal hauling railroads of southwestern Pennsylvania.

Paducah Yard Gains Structures
I just realized it's been more than three months since my last post, but rest assured I haven't been idle during all that time. A lot of the work has been track work and wiring and not leant itself to photos, but some has been around the Paducah shop area (above). The warehouse in the foreground is an addition to the P&LE, as is the car shop farther back. The warehouse came from the late Bob Buschart's railroad; the car shop was a purchase several years ago in Ohio. The two box cars at the warehouse are models I finished in the past week, and yet to be weathered. The two tracks to the immediate right of the warehouse have to be moved, along with the warehouse, to the right about two inches to allow for more space for the tractor trailers on the other side. A corner of the Dean Freytag-built engine shop can be seen at the far right.
