Had a little fun with technology yesterday. Timelapse video showing the scenery going in at the Grimes peninsula on my IAIS Grimes Line layout.

Pardon my pimping; I'm giving away some surplus model railroad stuff on my C&Sn3 blog. Some N, HO and S scale goodies and a few books. No strings attached.

Check it out if you'd like: http://coloradosouthern.blogspot.com/

Thanks and good luck!

I thought I'd make a new blog entry on D&M staging areas.  I cleaned this up a little from the original post to make it more attractive.  The D&M interchanges with the MILW, CNW and BN.  Here is a shot of the layout side of the BN interchange at Aberdeen Jct.

A small but necessary step - determining my ideal bench work height.  This week I was on vacation so I was able to get my workbench on (locking) casters so I could use my 50 year old Dewalt(tm) radial arm saw to start cutting bench work.

This BLOG about my evolving freight car fleet. I want to share what I am doing and hope others will too. Everyone is invited to discuss what the see and read here. You are also invited to tell and show us your freight cars.

I'm Jim, and as the title says, I'm broke. I'll spare everyone the details of how I got to this point, but suffice to say I've spent a total of under fifty bucks on the hobby in the last two years. Model railroading can be a very expensive hobby, but I'm working to see how inexpensively it can be done. Luckily, I have acquired a modest stockpile of supplies over the years, so it's now time to burn off some of the fat, so to speak.

I have been at track level there.  It is in very bad shape on the lower level.  The AMTRAK station is next to the depot.
