This is the first in a series of posts showing the 2010-2011 expansion of the HedgeApple RioGram RR.
1. In order to expand the RR, the storage shed shown behind Jerry Barnes must be moved.

2. The new location was chosen and a "slab" of concrete blocks was laid down. This move will allow more scenic railfanning in addition to allowing expansion. The new expanded area will replace the flagstone mountain and shed and in the area to Jerry's left. A covered five track storage yard will be constructed with interconnecting lines and switches to the existing loops as a first stage. Stage II will add an independent third loop and a small logging loop, with a mountain and possibly a waterfall and dry sump pond system [as $$ are available]. A new 6-ft fence will have to be built to replace the picket fence shown, and mask the relocated shed from the street.

Next step: move the shed. Weather may delay this for a few days. Tomorrow I won't get much done. A visit to the Denist with a root canal is scheduled.[
