Did you know the Copper Belt Railroad had a roster of Shay steam engines at Bingham canyon? First used for the underground mines around Bingham, then helped with the started up of Utah Copper and Boston Consolidate Copper.

Might as well make a 3D version of the New A/C wall mount A/C unit...  The pre prints on the Printer look great in HO as well as N

LEGOS are sold in different packaging methods. I recently puchased several different colors and items to make some of my buildings from. with a little imagination and a lot of patience you would be surprised at what you can create with these little plastic blocks. I recently created a full community out of LEGOS. They sell them at the Dollar Tree 48 pcs. to a package and there only a buck each. They also carry the doors and windows. But check to make sure they have them. Another way of constructing buildings is with the white perforated board (!/4" thk.) in the Arts and Crafts dept.

Even the competition gets some attention on the odd occasion.  I have been on a freight car weathering binge and the latest victims are my small fleet of CP gondolas.

"Okay boys, remember - No ketchup on your hot dogs, and no blasters - you can't hit anything anyway and I don't want you scratching my truck."

I have tried adding a DB150 to my layout to boost power to the 6 power districts I have. Here is some data to consider:

1. The boosted has its own power supply and is connected to my DCS 51 Zephyr via loco net cables which are correct. 

2. Toggles on the booster are set correctly for my HO layout. The booster is connected to Track A and Track B correctly through PSX 1's for the West main and the Port area which are the two power districts it should control.

The crawler car itself was the easiest care to build as the body was printed in one piece. All it required was painting, decaling, and the addition of grab irons. The car shown below has the crawler platforms sitting on top. Notice the weights added below the platforms. The only thing remailing here is some touchups and a coat of flat spray.
