Let's just get straight into this one, shall we?

What's New?

The answer to that is, not a whole lot. I've been going back and forth as to what the next project should be and honestly, I still haven't fully landed on something. I thought I had a good idea of what to work on next but I'm now second guessing that decision and may hold that project as a background project and instead begin working on P&B v3. What do you guys think? New mystery project or P&B v3?

Aside from the lollygagging I have gotten some work done. In case you missed it, I did re-release both the Dayton & Troy and Union Terminal model railroad projects from so many years ago. Both include some texture and scenery updates but largely remain in their original design. I did include the OG versions for TANE for those of you hoping for the original-originals (the original is "as-is" so please don't ask me for missing assets, etc).

I've also been working on getting the N Scale layout set up again. I recently connected up the wiring and it looks like everything is running well. While I was at it, I realized I had some content I recorded over the last year I could compile into a couple of videos, one covering how I painted and detailed a BLI NW2 and the other covering how I created my water feature. Currently those are only available to Patrons and Youtube Channel members.

With winter around the corner I expect to be back in build/video mode. I just have to land on exactly what I'll be working on next.
