Hi! I made a video tutorial how I model Pine trees. I´ve been taking my time to evaluate some alternative materials too.

2018 National Train Show - HO scale Free-mo layout

This was one of the really big layouts at the National Train Show this year (the T-Trak, N-Trak, and Free-moN being the others). Three clubs had signs there, Missouri Valley Free-mo, OK Free-mo, and Southern Kansas Free-mo. I expect there were additional participants as well. I believe I heard there were 63 modules involved.

More Diorama Photos

Here's my as of know best piece of scenery ever in person it looks amazing but sadly due to its small (and kinda odd) shape it's hard to get some good photos on it but heres the best of the bunch

Found a 3d printed pinvise

Since  a pin vise is a tool most any modeller will need i've been looking for a file to 3d print one since I don't have cash but do have a free 3d printer I decided that would be the best bet. I know some modellers on here have 3d printers too so I thought I would share the link to one I found: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758815/files

2018 National Train Show - Wisconsin and Michigan Model Railroad

This is another repeat visitor to the National Train Show - it's a slam dunk I saw it in Grand Rapids, and it was probably in Cleveland too. I'd have to check all my prior posts to see if I've seen it elsewhere:

Note: There will be more photos, I just have to take a break from posting for a bit.

2018 National Train Show - Green Valley Baptist Church Modular Layout

I attend a church of about 800 people, give or take, and I know of no other model railroaders there. That this church supports an entire modular layout group is pretty impressive!

One series of modules, built by Craig Adams and created as an amusement park, took the Judges Award as well -
