Major changes have been started on the Cascade Western Rail Road.
All of Iowa and the north end of Minnesota has disappeared.
That leaves the main town of Cascade and two towns north and two towns south of Cascade.
New staging at both ends will be built.
All this will take a couple months to accomplish
This will reduce the operating crew from 7-8 to 3-4 It also frees up space for my new interest.
I want to scratch build a locomotive or two. And do it in P48
This gives me a dedicated space to set up a new lathe and relocate the milling machine.
With a little luck the lathe will arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Howard,
Thanks for sharing the current activity on your Cascade Western RR. Building engine(s) in P48, is that a hint that you might be planning on extending your fine 7 NMRA AP certificate set to 8 or 9 or more? Will the changes to ProTrak to accommodate the deleted areas of your layout be fairly extensive to rather easy?
Joe
Joe,
Number 8 will be coming along in a while. Association Official.
I need 3 years in my position as Region Director. Got two and a half done.
Looking at Structures (6 merit award models) and Motive Power (3 scratch biult 87.5 point models). I have done some research on Prototype Scene, but that is a few years away.
Motive power, who knows. I expect it will take a year to get the first one done.
If I do the right structures, they can be used for the Prototype Scene.
ProTrak will be interesting. Parts will be easy, (deleting towns and industries) but getting a reasonable balance of traffic will take time. We will see what happens there.
Howard
