A plan is born

As a kid in England, and again about 35 years ago, I had messed around with model trains, and it dawned on me that building a small layout might be a fun thing to rediscover. So over the past year, I have been mulling the possibilities of building a line based on the operations of the Quincy and Torch Lake railroad which served the Quincy smelter. Something to do in my retirement! After a year of armchair consideration, I decided that that the best way to proceed would be to construct modules which could eventually build around three walls of my home office. Because of my long standing infatuation with the Quincy smelter, it was a natural for the first module, and after a lot of trial and error, I created this plan.
