I have created a Google map of the route of the RGS - showing where the ROW was, overlaid on a modern map with current roads, etc:

Yep a real impressive find don't you think?

Monster Model Works yesterday announced they're re-producing their Durango roundhouse walls in HO scale and S scale for a limited time.  Cost is $120 for HO scale and $170 for S scale.  If you haven't seen Jimmy's brickwork, it is amazing quality.

Durango models for the D&RG or RGS layouts are hard to find, so these are work checking out if that's your prototype.  Links and details:

While I work on making one of these 3d printing videos with my friend Jason Reece. I realize that I haven't shared the previous videos. So while this video gets its finishing touches, I'll share the previous videos. 

First is with my friend Ed Traxler, a Vet well versed in a bunch of techno #$%^#, but I digress. Ed first talked to me about Sketchup a few years ago.

A short post about making cheap and easy coal loads.

Plywood tops cut out for PHX staging,  SP - 7th Street Yard and ATSF Mobest Yard aka (Staging).  The tops are test fitted into the locations.   Next I will need to box in the 3 sections of plywood with 1x4 and mount them to the supports.

Hi to all fellow modelers.

I have been way of the hobby and this forum just because life got in the way. A lot of work in the train shop where I am working for 12 years now, with new portuguese models coming out almost every month.

That, added to the fact the my 3 year old kid wants to play with his dad with LEGO's and Transformer toys as soon as I get back home.. leaves almost no time for trains.

A little bit of progress on a tiny N-land.

With only a few more structures to complete on my re-creation of Rutland Yard in HO http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/11321 that many of you are familiar with over the last few years the time has come to start expanding and work on the next two scenes.  

The build of the Northern New England Scenic Railroad version 2 has officially commenced.  this new blog thread will document the build, which will probably go for many years.  There is still some room prep going on that will stay in my planning thread.  But all actual build will go here.  I will start with a response showing the design again, to have it here in this thread for reference.

I look forward to the process and the wisdom and contributions others may make over the years to my build choices and progress.
