Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry starts with taking a snapshot of my animation down at the dock and presents some experimentation with cell phone earpiece speakers with Digitrax and TCS WOW decoders.

This is a great new layout under construction. Big take away is no matter what the issue is we can all participate in Model Railroading. Bob McIntyre is a great modeler and a great person.  Spent some time talking with him at NMRA Show just a great story of overcoming.  This was a layout on the Layout Design Sig Tour.

Anyone going to the Huckleberry Railfan weekend? Today ( Missed It) and sunday.I will be there promoting our upcoming train excursion. Plus hopefully  getting some great video of Rio Grande 464.

I've written a series of posts about a pair of 70 ton TH&B hoppers that I built by improving a couple of 20-year-old Stewart kits.  Both cars are finished, and I've written a post with some pics of one of the cars.  

Enjoy your visit!

Hello Friends

I would like to share my newest Youtube Movie showing some of my finest H0 Trains:

Please enjoy.

Have a great time learning about how TT&TO's can add to the fun of operating your model railroad. 

One of the challenges with building Pembroke in a house that is still under renovation is that some of my research material is buried. While the basement has been largely finished since before Christmas -- don't ask me about baseboards and that closet door -- there are still shelves and various cabinets to construct. So, I've been relying mostly on information on my Canada Atlantic research website and on my Flickr stream (mostly not public). One critical photo lives only in a BRMNA book, and it shows the relationship between the mainline and the area around the engine house.

I apologize for the blatant self-promotion. This weekend I'll be presenting at the 2013 St Louis RPM Meet. The clinic is scheduled for Friday morning at 10:30, and will detail how I create expanded scenery on narrow benchwork.

It's titled, "Endless Horizon on the Grimes Line"

Hope to see you there,
James
