These are live videos and do contain how-to information. In fact, you'll find info in my videos that you will find nowhere else. However, these are not edited fancy videos that focus on video editing. I am a modeler, I share the modeling.

In this video, we substitute I&A stain for Steel wool and vinegar stain. Texture the wood and paint the walls an initial coat of off-white. Next video we will address windows and more wall detailing.

On great small home layout and some new Soundtraxx decoders and keep alives in some Older units. Make them run like new. 

What would you consider the best rolling stock brand manufacturer with the most detail in their rolling stock regardless of price in HO scale for prototypes from the 40s to 70s.

One of the fascinations for me in Berlin was the raised railway, especially the part which runs along the river Spree (which at the time I first knew it was still 'East Berlin'). It was partly the higher level that interested me as it would allow my shunting operations to have something of a background. The Gasworks will be surrounded by the return curve at one end and the far end (closest to my bed) will have a foundry and rolling mill in its compass. Between the two are the four tracks of the fast and slow lines, which run in both directions.

Hi all,

Long overdue update on the progress at the LA, Pasadena & Cucamonga RR.

Since the last update, the fascia has been finished and painted and curtains have been added as skirting. The topic of this update concerns all the fascia control panels that have been designed, built, painted and installed in order to control the tortoises.

Or at least the background of a small photo :)

Or at least in the very background I see me and my road father in the rope right corner barely visible

Will be moving in to the new house March 21st so thought this would be a good point to start blogging about building of the new HO layout.   

This will be my 5th layout and the first "prototypical" switching layout based on Missouri Pacific railroad operations in Fort Smith, Arkansas 1970-1980.  Because of space limitations, the track layout and industry locations are not exact in some locations but all industries on the layout represent actual industries severed by the Missouri Pacific. Historic buildings and sites are also represented.

Here again is a follow-up to my recent project, this showing the completed car as GNWR 7215

Here’s a link to my latest layout update. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!

Hopefully expansion is coming soon to the Hitop branch! Later this month I should be receiving four modules each four feet in length for a total of sixteen feet which I will use 8’ down both front corners of the layout for those of you familiar with my trackplan from the March 2016 issue of MR. These are coming from our club after a member tore out his current layout. More details and photos when the modules arrive!
