Richfield Rail-Runners got a new toy

Richfield Rail-Runners got a Cricut cutting machine and wow have we been busy. It has been a bit of a learning process with Auto-Cad but we have it down. I will have pictures up soon. We have done several buildings out of 4ply card stock, .30 and.40 styrene, clapboard siding and board and battin. We have cut 1/6 " bass wood too. The Vollmur brick sheet gave us a bit of fits, however we won. Cut out a nice brick building.

Track laying has come to a halt

Today I found out I will not be able to get ties from Micro-Engineering till WHEN??? They could not tell me.

Not a happy railroader today. Anyone know what would be a GOOD substitute.

Signed "Have a lot of track and nowhere to put it"

Richfield RailRunners

Hello All, Our 5th week of work and we ave about a 3rd of the layout up. Last week we built a 3 turn helix using spline roadbed. It looks GREAT and the trains move up and down perfectly. This week we are going to put electrical drops in and continue laying track.
