In other NEWS... 


The next set of pictures that will soon be added to the Prototype Galleries is "Railtown 1897" in Jamestown, CA.  Lots of great old time railroading there...

The info page was updated for the first time in forever...  I added a little bit more accurate info and some pictures of Angels and my train travels.  AND also the first picture of the new layout. 
:: 8.20.09::  UPDATES

Finally time for a much needed update!  And a big one it is!  Vic Smith gave me the ok to post some pictures of his great City Edge layout. The layout has been in quite a few magazines, but pictures on the web are rare - so enjoy!

I'm also working on redoing this site in order to get it more in line with where my life is now.  It's been about 10 years since I first began this site and LOTS has changed.  I originally started the site to host my own work and also be a showcase for Geroge Sellios' work.  Lots has changed: George no longer allows pictures to be taken and unfortunately, I can't visit him that often anymore anyway.  So the current plan is to go through the pictures I do have and add any that aren't posted already.  That will be the likely last update for the F&SM galleries. 

As far as my own work goes, I now have a job, a moneypit - err... house, and a great family and I stay pretty busy.  Busier than I'd like.  I still try to fit modeling projects in when I can and I am planning a new layout, but progress is slow.  I'm creating a Workbench page to post pictures of projects that I'm working on.  I'll be adding a new page for my new layout.

I do get to travel more than I used to though, and I love to visit train hotspots.  I also love to take pictures, so I plan on putting more posts on the Prototype page. 

Thanks for visiting! 



As always, there's more to come...  ~Matt Gidley
