Wow - Holidays have come and gone, and admittedly very little progress has been made on the layout. Here we are in the midst of the warmest winter I can remember, heading into an early lacrosse season. That means time for model trains might be minimal at best!
When I can't get an ample amount of time at the workbench, like many people, I explore the internet on my lunch at work, or in the evenings when I am too tired to lift a finger. If you want to see some of the best modeling out there, as well as thoughts and theories on operations, check out Lance Mindheim's blog and see what he's been up to.
Once you've had your dose of layouts and operations, stop on by The Weathering Shop and see what the crew there has been crafting. The level of detail in weathering is second to none, and far beyond what you'll see on certain Youtube channels.
There's tons more out there, as blogging and model railroading continue to cross paths. For now, though, enjoy this gem, a Rail Yard Models X79 boxcar. Rail Yard Models announced March 1st that they would be ceasing production of their prized kits, so pick one up if you can. It is doubtful that you'll ever find another kit crafted and researched as well as these.

Make some time for your trains once the kids are in bed and the wife is reading or watching the tube. They miss you.
