WCIU the Jam is coming to my highschool tomorrow to do some stuff with are sportsteams. The really cool part though is the robotics team will also be showing off our robots from the past two years. If anyone is interested tune in 6am chicago to wciu you can also see it on their website later on I'll post the link when it happens

This week the latest locomotive has joined the Reading roster on the layout.

This is a HO - Kato Reading Lines GP35.  It was the original #3647 Kato OEM model that has been re-numbered to #3642 and weathered by Chris Thompson.

A blog of the construction progress.

Instead of an O scale test track, why not make a small switching layout above my work surface!

Keywords: O Scale, Switching Layout, Small Vertical Space, Hand Laid Track, Scratch Built Structures

As the titles states I'm working on making myself a oscar and piker car set (well actually I'll end up with 8 total cars) as a fun little project once I do some tests prints I'll share the stl's if anyone is interetsed

In the following blog, I will tell the story of how the development of a 3D printed model of a P&R gondola hopper came about.  I will also share a few 3D printing mistakes and how I corrected them along the way.

You can see us packing up the A&LC here.

You can see what I have be doing recently here.

In just two weeks we went from 31 Celsius temperatures to snow. It is time to get back into the swing of things and get my layout going around the room.

now that my garage is built and I got all of me tools and garage junk out into the garage, I have room to continue building. First project is a work area. 6 and a half feet of desk to store stuff on. The layout will go over the desk to allow a continuos loop of track.

now to work on that portion of the track. More to come soon.

Since winter is coming again Sue and I are getting ready to travel from New England to where the snow isn’t supposed to fall, very often.....
