The Gorre & Daphetid: The Lost Blog
The construction of the Z Scale Gorre & Daphetid was originally documented on Blogger. When the NMRA came down on my neck for using that layout name, I temporarily took the blog down. And, by some strange twist of fate, I'd downloaded a copy of the blog up to that point—something I don't remember doing. Plus, I found some more posts at the Wayback Machine. In all, 117 out of 140 posts remain. It's not all here, but then again, neither am I. Enjoy!

Layout Weight
Every so often I weighed the layout, mostly because it was small and made from modern lightweight materials, and I was always curious how its weight changed during construction. This was posted on the blog's home page.
