Changes & Additions
Changes & Additions Part 2
Here are the changes I am making in the Green Bay Industrial District on my CNW- Peninsula Division
I have removed all the scenery around the Coal Dealer & added a small piece of bench work with new facia in front of it. The second and most important thing is that I am adding the roads and parking lots to the rest of the area. I also have one more scratch built building to add and some back ground flats to add. I am going to do a "How I did it" post on my method of road construction.

Changes & Additions
Changes are a coming - Working on some changes in two different areas of my CNW layout. The first is the Hardwood Lumber Mill. I have removed all of the saw dust that covered the whole area, never did really like it. Also removed all the ballast from the track, added one new track near the log pond. I will be adding some type of road into the Mill, not sure if it will be dirt or gravel at this time. (any suggestions?) Reapplying the ballast, lighting the structures. I did add a concrete floor to the lumber storage shed.

And so it begins...
I've been planning to build a 12-track staging yard for some time now, and this past week I finally started the project. The photos below show the before and after.

Integrating the Spline Helix into the Staging Level
I have been absent for a couple of months so this is what I have been doing since I finished the basic spline helix for my under-construction N-scale layout.
First of all, I do not use CAD for drawing the layout. I use old school sketches and presentation style programs, such as Powerpoint and/or Keynote, to draw the layout's support structure. See the sketch drawing of staging level below.

Bring your model to the sunlight
Snow is not a problem as you can see. Just wait until the sun comes out and a nice blue sky appears. Sometimes I've to wait an hour or more :-)
after a short while the weather change....
and the sun comes out...
MTH Loco Motor Control Using A Secondary Decoder
I have experience in DCC sound installations having completed approx two dozen locos using Tsunami decoders.
A problem I have is that my MTH SD70M-2 will not consist with these locos or others (QSI & Paragon 2) at my local Club.
What do you want it's free!
Wish someone would speak english! Embedded, standard, 123 mb etc. Where is the edition that we used to get three months ago before someone decided to change this? and did not wonder if it was a good idea. I still can't read it or download it or nothing.
I guess what do you want it's free.

Hello Friends
My name is Jürg and I'm from Switzerland. I collect weathered Engine and Cars and also Dioramas. I love to arrange them on my Dioramas outside in the Sun and take pictures. Here are a few example from my Swamp Diorama (without sun because it was a bit rainy).
The Diorama was build from my Friend Stefan Foerg, the Cars are from Gary Christensen and the Engines from Rodney Walker.
