Introduction - November 2007

Several times over the years, Mr. Muffin began building an HO layout by buying wood and assorted tools and constructing bench work. In his homes in Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland and twice in Indianapolis the bench work for the proverbial "Phase 1" was completed only to be torn down a few months later as he and his family were relocated for new job opportunities.

Shortly after the most recent move back to Indianapolis in November of 2002, Mr. Muffin began in earnest to assemble bench work once again - and with the able assistance of Mrs. Muffin and several "son muffins", often referred to as croissants and crumb cakes, much was accomplished over the holidays in 2002.

In the Spring of 2007, the Muffins decided to start looking for a new house with more basement space, so the layout was disassembled and put in storage. A new house was purchased and the Muffins moved in August 2007. The new house has a much larger basement, but it is unfinished. They began finishing the basement, adding a workout / workshop room and a full bathroom. We expect the basement to be finished before Christmas.

Through these pages, the Muffins will share their progress once layout construction commences.
