Posted over at my model RR club. Ever wonder how we access what seem like inaccessible parts of the layout? This is how! We have these access panels all over the layout, that either drop down or can be lifted out. #modeltrains #modelrailroad #modelrailway #burlingtoncounty #southjersey #nmra

Kid in parking lot asks "What should I ask you?" (license plate: ASKME)
"Anything, I work at the library"
* Kid laughs *
"Let me ask YOU something. Do you have a library card?"
"Nope."
"Live in town?"
"Yep."
"Well, they're free. You should get one"
"Okay!"
I have become THAT lady & am OK with it 💅

Update on the inglenook, held off on doing static grass tonight, touched up some of the ground cover instead and put some on the embankment. Also might go with the name “Pembernook” since it mixes in one of towns that is inspiring this. #modeltrains #modelrailroad
