One of the best pieces of 5ft motive power in TT scale is the M62 made by Austrian manufacturer Roco.

This weekend the Grande Pacific Railroad You Tube channel passed One MILLION views, and has over 4600 subscribers.  Thank a bunch. I got the idea to start doing it form this Blog. So Joe you get the credit.  No adds.

Does anybody have a cehap recommended airbrush for custom painting I want to try some custom painting but failed with a brush.

Finished up the smaller details at the Fleur Yard expansion on my IAIS Grimes Line layout.

Up first is a look at the western approach to the yard along Terrace Hill. I built some power poles using bamboo skewers, strip lumber, and Rix Products cross arms. On the prototype a row of high-voltage lines parallels the joint UP/IAIS main until it reaches the yard, where it turns south over the Raccoon River.

I am looking for people in the Lomabrd Illinois area (could be companies hobbyshops volunteers etc.) that could help sponsor and build a layout for a model railroad club that may begin next school year I have not gone to the principal about it but last year he said it could be possible if I can find a teacher to do it. If you can help please put it in the comments or PM thanks.

The Little Trees and Surfside recently acquired a new loco, a Bachman 0-6-0 side tank Porter. The LT&S is a tourist/logging railroad set in the present day, but operates vintage steam equipment for excursions and such. The current roster is a Climax, a Heisler, and a couple of diesels. (A Shay is in the shops for restoration). The ruling grade on the mainline (all 7 actual feet of it) is 4.5%. What does such an operation want with a rod loco? Well, an occasional visitor to the layout room is a seven year old lady.

Continued work on the MOPAC.  Dirt area is home to the future scrap yard.

Several years ago the magazine had a project layout based loosely on a Virginian branch. I took the theme and ran with it modeling instead an ex-NYC/PC branch in West Virginia called the Hitop branch, as I model some NYC,but primarily Penn Central. In anticipation of this being published early next year, I set up a copyrighted website with a story behind the building of the layout, a history of the area, of course modeling photos from the first lumber cut to the layout today, and prototype photos from the era and area. I'm modeling 1968-1975.

A full operations session.  Operating an interchange yard on a model railroad.

Has anyone ever of a group called t-track?On the same idea as n-track.
