Got a little done on my HOn30 railbus today. Mostly the roof rack, Built out of Evergreen scale strips, it will allow for luggage and chickens on the roof (did I mention I model a railroad on a small Caribbean island?). Next up is a trailer for it, then some paint.

Someone asked for a track plan of my 22nd Avenue Secondary so I whipped one up. Yes, it is drawn in Microsoft Paint. Don't judge.

All track is Atlas Code 83 Sectional. All curves are 18" radius. Turnouts are as noted. I don't know the exact geometry of the wye turnout but it is somewhere near a #5. That is a 19 degree crossing near the center.

I had promised to show more of the Texas Western Model Railroad layout and this time I will take a trip to Colorado and New Mexico for a little narrow gauge.  The standard gauge interchanged with the narrow gauge at Alamosa and much of the track there is 3-rail as it was in the prototype.  

Morris benchwork is in and covered!

Hello,

here is a video from my new HOn3 exhibition layout 'First Snow on the High Line'. The visible part of the layout is only 2 x 0,5 m (approx. 3.28’ x 1.64’).

Our Minnesota FreeMo group set up this past weekend at a

Train Show hosted by Choo Choo Bob fame at the River Center in St. Paul,MN.

We had a 100x50 foot space allocated to us. Here are some run by shots of trains we were running on Saturday

Whew!  Busy holiday week!  I hope everybody had a good one.  I managed to climb out of my food induced coma long enough to work on rebuilding the my FreeMoN module this weekend.  I took a bit of video illustrating the way I'm going about it.

  The first part covers putting together the faceplates for the ends of the modules.

I know I have posted this tip once before but here is an updated method that works much better! If you want to read the original article, here is the link.

I've been using MRH blogs for information and inspiration for some time now and thought I'd get involved myself. Hopefully some of what I have to say is useful to someone else.
