Pulpwood logs are a significant traffic item on the Algoma Central, and a type of load I'll need quite a supply of for my flatcars and gondolas.

During the christmas holiday season I scratchbuilt a wagon turntable for my 009 gauge layout. These turntable will serve my future Whisky distillery on my Isle of Skye Railway Mk2. In these Youtube tutorial I will show you how to build the turntable with 1mm and 0.5mm styrene sheet, some rail offcuts, superglue and plastic cement. The turntable is not motorised or powerd, but could be turned by hand. During the filming I had some problems with the autofocus of my camera, and I had to find a good cameraposition for filming how to tutorials.

Kind folks have asked about operations on my initial Chicago & Indiana module. Below I'll describe switching the fertilizer dealer near Berne, Indiana.

Just (re)installed the bridge over the recently-poured Mattabesset River in my nearly-completed East Berlin scene. Still have a bit of detailing to do, but wanted to be sure everything would still run right! Enjoy!

I have done 15 short videos of the layout and wish to share them on this blog.  We are having great difficulty with the transfer process.  If there is anyone out there that can help us we are greatly in need. 

Last weekend it was cold outside, -36c, so I decided to make a few wrapped bundles of lumber to scatter here and there on the layout. I used information from another modeler posted on his blog which required cutting pine to scale bundle size, printing some bundle wrapping and then cutting the paper to size to wrap around the wood. I only planned on doing a dozen bundles but it was so easy I made a lot more.

Just a simple chronicle of my latest modeling project: operational scenes along a granger shortline, which recall fond memories from childhood and my experiences as a railroader.
