The Mule Shoe & Western RR NMRA Nat Convention 2013

This a great layout and a true craftsman.  He has planned every detail and going to be one great layout when finished. I am sorry I ran out of battery right when he was going to tell how he was going to glue LEDs to wood.

USMRR AT THE NMRA NAT CONVENTION 2013

I can't say enough about the craftsmanship in this modular display about the USMRR in 1864. This individual has gone way past the word excellent.  Not only has he modeled something to great detail that is fantastic, but was done to the exact point in time and knows the whole story of what went on and how it was done. Hope you enjoy. Engines are run on Batteries and it is remote controlled.

Canton St. Paul & Pacific Railway. Op Sig Event NMRA Nat 2013

This is great stuff.  We had a great time working on the railroad for four hours.  I was brakeman.  I could see all the number on the cars too.  Do not pass up the chance if you have it to operate with the 7.5 track wide group.
