A Series of Animated Dioramas
No, this isn't another "last layout" layout, although it may seem that way. This is a collection of N Scale dioramas built from bits and pieces of the decommissioned White River & Northern X as well as other recent layouts and projects. While trying to finish the WR&N X, I discovered something more satisfying than building layouts.
Originally I had over a dozen dioramas planned, but after I started working on a few, I realized I probably wouldn't live long enough to finish even half of them. So I cut the list back to the most interesting ones that had the best shot at being completed.

Catastrophe
While moving to a new home in October, to my horror I discovered a box full of hobby stuff was lost during the move. And not just any box, but the single most important one of all. It contained quite a few valuable tools, as well as a significant number of models, including some of the finest work I've done in recent years. I don't see me recovering from this: I can't afford to replace all of the tools, and I'd never be able to replicate the lost models. Consequently I've given up any thoughts of going back to modeling.
