I've been working on creating trees, and wrote a blog post w/ lots of photos:

Podcast time, and trees - LOTS of trees

Here's one of the photos...

Enjoy this recently filmed cab ride "up the hill" of the Union Pacific Cascade Subdivision in HO!

I am struggling with the attachment process currently but have decided some difficult choices and wanted to put them down in writing.

The section known as David's siding was once two different scenes but has now been combined into a passing siding running the full scene with a small yard used to cut off/add to trains per capacity.  This section will be at the base of the grade at Old Fort Loops in the garage area.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on a computer to connect to my layout.  I run Digitrax and use Digitrax components as well as some RR Cirkits boards.  I plan to run JMRI and CATS for dispatching and programming decoders.  Other than that, the only other main requirement I have is to be able to run normal productivity software like spreadsheets and word processing.

Have been away from the layout for a while, but building structures. Finally got back to the Tamworth loop (a bit of landscaping and track on the top of my helix). Placed the dairy, woodworking plant and water tower. Added static grass, a small creek and a few supertrees. Going to pause for a while before filling in the smaller shrubbery, vehicals and so forth. 

Not sure how this turned into a post on car weights.

Deleted original subject on easy track powering in a non switched location, and replaced it with Pocket change? For Car Weights

Pocket change? For Car Weights?

If you are still interested on automated powering of your track in a non switched very hard to reach location let me know or start your own blog.
