Four MIDSOUTH GP 10s from intermountain for the MidSouth Model Railroad Club. 

A much bigger update is in the works but for now just looking for some quick feedback on this panel.  It crams a lot in a little space mainly due to a better fit at the panel location versus a larger panel. 

This hobby has a lot of facets. One I enjoy is the graphic design aspect with all the varied railroad heralds, paint schemes, and assorted signage – even graffiti. 

The railroad I model, the Iowa Interstate, has a retro look in that they use the old Rock Island herald shape with spiffy colors of black, red, and yellow. I looked into what it would cost to have a custom neon sign made and discovered it wouldn’t be that expensive. So, I had one made and today I mounted it in the layout room above one of my work areas:

Both Greg W. and I thought of this at almost the same time:

I used a Loksound Micro Select 73800 programmed for ALCO 539T 6 cylinder and TDS SuperSonic Mini Speaker (sugar cube) and enclosure.  I am very happy with the sound qualities of this and the install in an old model like this wan't bad.

This video didn't turn out so great in the visual aspect, but you get the chance to hear the sound:

I've started a little series on tarmac. This video is about using paper sheets to model it.

Of living in our post retirement "Dream" house, the wife and I are moving to Florida.  Our house here in Indy sold in three days without being on the market.  

The new "dream" house will be about half the size of the Indy house.  My train area will be a quarter of the current one or less.  Should I switch to N scale?
