(It's an Of Monsters and Men reference, FYI. And the "steady" claim is questionable at best.)

I've finally gotten to the point of determining my lighting needs and methods for my layout.  Several months ago I created a blog to share my work, which you are welcome to explore at the link below.  I haven't added to it much yet as I'm still in the room-prep stage, but I figure now is as good a time as any to start sharing my work and ideas with the rest of the community.

I am using code 100 track in my lower staging yard, mostly because it is less expensive than the code 70 I use elsewhere, and I had a lot of track on hand to use.  

I re-laid my yard throat with Shinohara switches after trying some tight radius Peco switches that didn't work well with my long freight and passenger cars.  I sacrificed some staging capacity in order to get better operation, or at least that was the plan. 

I found out by accident (yes, it was really an accident :-) how acrylic paint (i.e. weathering) can be removed:

1. glass fiber eraser
2. isopropyl alcohol
3. methylated spirit
4. mouthwash
5. methylated spirit, mouthwash, water

Finally, I am about to do room prep on the layout room. The rest of the basement is about done.

 Still have to clean up the weight room and install a sink and paintbooth near the door. Water is already there for the outside fawcet so it should be fairly easy. Just have to teach myself to solder copper pipes. Those keep moving higher on the priority list.

Hello again, it's been a while since I've been on here. I'm currently in the process of getting into outdoor railroading. Not exactly model railroads though. This time, I'm interested in building a two footer. The line will be run off of household current run through an overhead, and the line will be mostly operated by trolleys once I can build some, but until then my project will be to a) build a compressed air locomotive, b) get a source of something decent to use for track, and c) work out a system of overhead which is safe, simple, affordable, and doable.

Hi Folks

Would there be anyone out there who may just happen to have a working Kadee Spiker and spikes that they have no further use for.

I had one of these for many years and after a few mods to it, it worked perfectly with only about one hic-cup in every 100 to 150 cycles.
