Scratch building the Low Rent Convenience Store

 

The plan was to put this in West Sacramento scene at the club but across the tracks a new project creates progress and a road. This may end up on ebay in the near future.

Time at (P&WV) N&W Clairton Yard

The P&WV(N&W) Clairton Yard interchanges with The Union Railroad. The Belt Local with services the yard twice a day is here in the morning to do some switching. As the Belt Local enters the yard the Union Railroad with Crew #53 is coming down the hill on the Mifflin Branch to Mifflin Junction. After doing there switching the Belt local has some foreign road power on the head end .

Touring the "Air Line" branch of the Valley Line

I forgot to include the "Air Line" section in my layout tour video from a few weeks ago, so here it is (and using a gimbal for the first time . . .). Constructive criticism, tips, suggestions, and other feedback always welcome, so lemme know what you think!

 

 

April May update for the JAM

Greetings all. I have been working quite a bit on the new L portion of the Johnstown and Maryville Railroad. I added two new industries and just finished adding the town of Johnstown. While its not nearly completed, its far enough along to show the progress.

I used the Model Builder program from Evan Designs to make the brick street, then printed them on a color laser printer.

Anyone used Blue Ridge Fibreboard?

Has anyone used Blue Ridge Fibreboard?  (https://www.blueridgefiberboard.com/premium-insulating-sheathing-energy-saving-r-values/)  I saw it at Menards right across from Homasote.  It seems like a similar product, but a bit lighter and quite a bit cheaper.  Was curious if it would hold paint and how it would handle getting wet.

Old Diode Directional Lighting Circuit?

Can anyone provide me a copy of the old reliable directional diode lighting scheme using 1.5 volt bulbs? I’m trying to wire a locomotive for DC operation - haven’t done it in such a long time I don’t remember how it worked!

Thanks.

Cascade Sub: Oakridge Terrain

Leaving Tunnel 22 trains enter Oakridge via a large sweeping curve that takes the mainline and passing siding near the backdrop. Within this "bubble" of track will reside a small residential area that will seek to capture the residential aspects of Oakridge with a few small homes and streets. As terrain development and scenery reached completion in Westfir, the neighborhood was my next area of focus.
