Purpose, Goals and Objectives 2022

On January 1, 2021 I wrote a blog page Purpose, Goals and Objectives 2021 indicating my goals for the year. I didnt quite get there - for a variety of reasons. Covid was running rampant and a couple of my property mainagement / general contracting buddies were in need of help covering for employees sick or in quarentine.

Of the four short term goals, I managed to complete ZERO. I didnt get there. I did think that once September hit and the train shows were starting back I was going to get to the layout,  I ended up doing much of nothing.

I did however get a good bit accomplished on the website ..... something i didnt list as a goal, but should have. It takes longer to type than to do .... and I'm going to do more doing than typing as time goes on. 

A summary of my year is below, followed by some brief thoughts on my year and the hobby:

Projects Completed in 2021

  • I spent a number of hours armchair modeling and consolidating my thoughts on track design and specific operation and scenery I wanted to replicate.
  • The blog has been updated and some 28+ posts have been published. 100 pages have been designed and some 50 have been completed. The remainder are in various stages of completion.

2022 goals. 

Let's try this again!

STG#1: I want the trackwork completed from Tunnel 2 to Reload. I want to complete 16 square feet of at least one signature scene within 6 months with the remainder with basic scenery in place. I want enough track from WWSL 2.0 relaid to new design and construction standards and at least some trains running in 6 to 9 months.

STG#2:  I want the trackwork from Melbourne to Wickwood relaid to new design and construction standards and at least some trains running in 6 to 9 months.

STG#3. I want three trains (locomotives and rolling stock) built to Tan Standards and running on the the above modules by the end of the year.
