Has anyone had this problem with M.E. weathered code 70 track.

I have been setting up a diorama to tune my scenery skill, (at the moment I don’t have the space for even a small layout). I am also trying to improve my painting/weathering skills.

So, I always wanted to mess with Arduinos, and trains.

I bought a Arduino Uno clone on eBay and a MotorShield.

I already uploaded the DCC Base Station and I can connect the Arduino to the JMRI PanelPro. The Using WiThrottle on my IPhone 4s, I can see that the Arduino responds, because theres a green led that blink every time I press a button on the IPhone.

The thing is that the MotorShield that I bought is really small, and I don't know how to connect it.

Continuing the series on how to model a tarmac road, we're adding the pavements or sidewalks.

At 11:00pm CDT on July 19, 2016, the N-scale Bonne Terre Railway's recently accquired GP35 completed a full circuit of the layout's twice-around (folded loop? / folded dogbone?) mainline loop. It's more a wooden spike moment than a gold one, for the track is currently laid out with Bachmann EZ track, which, because of its sectional nature, is too broad for the board in some places and too narrow in others, but it is a start progress!

Got some more work tonight on the scene! ;-) It's almost done, just need to add some more bins and some junk near the track.

Yep, my last post here was two years ago!  I wasn't able to put a lot of work on my layout, but I did play with it some... I did a small one one for my son (a 4x6) but now, it's daddy's turn! :-)

why did it take so long?  I realized I was all over the place working on my layout. Doing work here, then there but never finishing anything.  So I recently decided to focus my efforts on a single location at a time.  I also realized that I needed to work on the background stuff BEFORE working on the front scenery.

that this is going to be underwater in few days?

all because it was built a stupid dam. They say that it will provide electricity to near small villages when it was more than studied and proved that this construction will be harmful.

There used to be a narrow gauge line on the left. You can still see the roadbed!

The grain elevator is almost finished. All it needs are some windows and a place on the layout.
