I’m taking a short break from the main blog (we all need a bit of a breather now and then, don’t we?) but that probably means I’ll be updating over here (and on Mar’s Twitter account) a bit more.

Today, Mar’s landlord contacted her about something new that’s going to come through the region where her home – and the Newbie Haven there – sits: a pretty cool multi-region railroad project that’s being built. I’d noticed the bridge near the front of the house, but it wasn’t until I raised draw distance and cammed behind the house that I saw the track stopping behind it. Eek!

However, it sounds like an interesting project that will be fun for newbies and oldbies alike to ride (I sure as heck am looking forward to having a go on it!) so I’m happy to make the few small changes that my landlord requested. I won’t be losing any prims, but the cottage that houses the Newbie Haven will just need to be moved a tad. We think that a 90° anti-clockwise rotation will be enough, and will leave plenty of space in front of the house for a landing spot between the house and the tracks.

Here’s the track location as it appears on the main map:

Hop behind the cut for a bigger, closer picture showing the railroad and how the cottage will probably be moved.

I’ll be editing the notecard given out in the Newbie Haven so that it includes some information about the railroad.
