Some Changes

A couple of changes have happened since starting this blog.

The railroad name has changed from the Scripter Basement Railroad (SBRR) to the Oregon Lower Valley Railroad (OLVRR). Here’s a picture of the ‘pass’ Sami and I created for the new name. OLVRR subtly represents ‘Oliver’, our grandson. The ‘Lower Valley’ refers to it being in our basement, and ‘Oregon’ is the intended locale.

The colors of the lettering represent the colors of my all-time favorite railroad paint scheme, the ‘Black Widow’, probably named for the overall black scheme, with the red highlight at the bottom.

The layout design shown in the first blog entry has evolved a bit. Here’s the design that is being built:

And, last but not least, here is the full photograph that appears at the top of each blog entry. The lead locomotive is in Southern Pacific Black Widow paint, and the following units are in Southern Pacific’s ‘Blood Nose’ paint.
