Lance Mindheim's layouts

December 12, 2016

Visited Lance Mindh eim house and viewed his outstanding layouts this past Sunday. Very inspirational.

Progress images of the Blue Rapids, KS, depot build. I tackled the north side of the depot along with the bay window. You'll notice the skirting and asbestos siding are lower on the bay than on the side of the depot. The bay window as added in 1911 - 40 years after it was originally built in 1871 (haven't found documentation that it's not the original depot). All the door/windows and the bay are test fit. I still need to build and paint the trim pieces. Once the bay is installed, I will then assemble the four sides of the depot. Line marks for asbestos siding installation. Test fit of windows, doors, and the bay Bay window Down view of the bay window showing the four laminated sheets of .020 styrene Interior view of the bay with windows test fit.

New Plan

February 01, 2013

I'm finally adding a few updates to my future model railroad. With the assistance and design skill of Robert W. Sprague, my future layout plan has been made. It fits an area of 12 x 40 feet in HO scale. I won't start construction until I retire my my job in about 10 years. Attached is the plan.
