I have divided the activities involved in this hobby into three main categories: past, present and future. Links to each of these categories may be found in the left margin of each web page.

The link to the Current activities provides a quick view of the tasks that I am presently engaged in.

The link to the Future provides an overview of all of the activities that I can think of that still need to be done. These are further organized into 5 sub-categories:

• Operations (running the trains)
• Construction of Structures and Rolling Stock
• DCC
• Web Site
• Miscellaneous

I have also attempted to provide a sense of what approaches I have used in the past to plan and keep track of the various activities I have pursued while trying to build a model train layout that uses DCC (Digital Command Control) to run trains based loosely on Canadian National Railways at the beginning of the diesel era. These tables may be found in the link to the Past activities.

Finally, I have added a web page that keeps track of the costs that I have incurred with this hobby.
