HO Domtar 1001 Custom Paint
As promised, my Domtar 1001 photos. I finished this unit in late July as custom work for a buddy that is now modeling CN in central Wisconsin. This engine will be used to operate the Domtar paper plant at Nekoosa.
Used a BLI NW2, which represents a late production EMD NW2. Seen in some of the exposures is my BN 14, an NW2 that BN rebuilt and called it an NW-12. Note the difference in the taper of the hood down to the front windows of the cab. The BN unit represents an early build NW2.
Decoder Buddy with Soundtraxx Current Keeper installation video
The new video is out. A quick installation of DCC into the Atlas Alco Century C-424/425's.The Classic series has a nice motherboard, but I needed a modern one with capabilities to connect a Current Keeper and lighting functions.
I use a NixTrainz Decoder Buddy V5, A Soundtraxx 21 PNEM with a Current Keeper. An iPhone speaker provides the sound. It was an easy installation and I only had to modify the rear weight and the plastic towers that held up the Atlas Motherboard.

Ontario South Central sorted
I previoulsy posted about yet another move to Toronto with my portable Ontario South Central. This is now the 4th location. If you follow my blogs I wrote about a small switching layout that fits into a Condo living space satisfying the missus.
Well, we've broken up, and I had to move to the burbs and had my layout in a room in a town house.

A Place I Will Likely Not Get To...
So.... a most happy coincidence. A national train magazine has a cover story of the NS Loops in western North Carolina. Must consider additional layout framing. Old Fort Loops.
