Announcing A New Blog

Last Post For the Micro Model Railroad Cartel Blog

I have created a new blog with a new name, logo, and hosting site for the Cartel. The Micro Model Railroad Cartel is now the Micro Railway Cartel! 

You can access the new site at... 

https://microcartel.wordpress.com/

I will be leaving this blog up for a little while, but I will be taking it down sometime in 2024.  Thank you to all who have followed over the last 13 years, and I hope you will continue to follow over at the new site!

Owensville Terminal Micro - Completed

 

The completed layout 

I am happy to report that the Owensville Terminal Micro Layout is now completed. Well, at least 99% completed since I will be adding additional figures and details in the future. I really enjoyed building this micro!

Now I need to get started on my entry to the 2023 Christmas Micro Layout Challenge!
