Building of a module, part 11: GOP

Posted by Dom | Posted in Techniques, Updates | Posted on 02-09-2010

After my last post I came to the conclusion that my module has gone beyond being just a module, but a part of my home railroad.

In all further posts I will refer to it as the GOP.  This stands for the “Get Out and Push” railroad company, which I mentioned in building the waycar kit.  The reference comes from a book of classic logging pictures.  This was a book borrowed from the local (at the time) library, and I don’t currently have access to it, so I don’t remember the name of it.

The book contained a picture of a locomotive which was derailed on the side of a narrow gauge line.  Ironically the name painted on the side was the GOP;  I am guessing that this might have been a fairly regular occurrence.

My intention is to eventually build a logging themed layout, or at least a section devoted to logging – which will be the GOP rr. co.
