I need to scratch build a Cyclone type Dust Collector for the storage bin for the Feed Mill I am building. I have looked at all of those on the various mfg's web sites but none of will work for te size I need. Anybody got any suggestions?

This is an advertiser on MRH that I have made purchases from in the past.(modelrrsupply.com) Recently the post office lost a package and really were clueless. I had been in touch with Bryan about the missing package and had said he would make sure I got what I ordered. During our conversation he mentioned he wasn't sure anyone else had seen his ad on MRH.

Here's the first in several posts on the research and construction of the Household Fuel coal pocket on my layout. I'm in the process of building the model now, and it will be the first signature structure completed.

While I've built structures before, this is my first scratch-building effort, although I wouldn't be this far without my friend Dick's help. The first post is about the prototype itself.

I am getting ready for my second season of growing my own trees for my railroad. Last season I gave away most of my crop. This season I hope to use what I learned last season to grow a lot more larger and healthier plants.

Good evening.

Apols for not posting for a while, I was involved in several areas of the model, none of which have come to a conclusion as yet. I also tried the track for the dogbone part of the layout, the elevated Stadtbahn. Unfortunately the tight curve at the end derailed some of my carriages as the dynamic couplings (kinematic Kurzkupplungen) were not installed properly and this led to the buffers locking.

This update includes the final two parts of the design and building of the Morris Stockyard/Feed Lot with 3D printed parts.  The video below (Part 3) shows some of the final testing that was done to ensure that the spacing between the siding and the cattle ramps was sufficient to permit a train to pass by all of the 18 ramps.  During the testing, I found one ramp that had to be moved back.  The train in the video is pulled/pushed by an Intermountain FT A/B with a few stock cars prior to beginning the next step of assembly.

No, not twerking. Tweaking..looking at the design of the new layout and changing things up as something doesn't look right. I started out with a plan that I thought would encompass everything I like, or almost everything, but it was a bit too much. Started with 7 industries. Got that down to 4, plus a depot. Had 2 mainlines and a long passing siding. And a shorter passing siding.
