Fall IS a four-letter word

I haven't done much model building lately.  I tried to break the front sidewalk with my right knee.  The concrete won.  After three trips to the doc, x-rays (out-patient, he doesn't have a machine) and a DVT scan (ditto), I'm fortunate that nothing broke or cracked, and there are no vein blood clots developing.  Those things are nasty, at the least. 

So, having scraped a deep layer off the leg, and who knows what soft tissue bruising, I am on the mend.  I didn't even try to drive for a month or five weeks - trying to lift the foot from the gas to the brake was too painful to do properly. With not feeling worth anything, I haven't done any work on the layout or the buildings. 

Now, I'm not fully back, but much better.  I even spent a day in 8th grade ELAR class (as a sub, not a student. Duh.)

However, I did spend some time on the layout module arrangement plans,  and I shook them up just a little bit.  I'm marrying two multi-module sets together.  Only one end loop had to be set aside.  Here's the new plan (subject to tweaking):

That's the Trans-Tropics on the right, and the Clovis, Jal & Kermit as the five modules on the left.  It's going to be a long winter's project, especially in the garage.  At least, here in North Texas, we usually (ha!) get a decent number of mild to warm winter days.  So, this garage layout won't have to wait for spring.

Now, work on the buildings is moving forward on the bench.  Two Randy Brown models are progressing. They are Tiny's Diner and Paco's Tacos. These will go on the Taki-Tiki, somewhere.  So much else to figure out there.

Even the unused end loop from the CJ&K will get its' scenery as well.  Big plans, I just hope not too big for me.  We'll see.
