STATION ACCESS ROADWAY
To access my station, I designed this roadway ramp. It is inspired from my memories of access road ramps in Rhinecliff and Beacon, N.Y. They are access to railroad stations and ferry terminals on the Hudson River.
They are made from Rix bridge components.

My Summer project is pretty much complete and I would like to share some How To's. I have posted a few YouTube videos on the build and will be posting a few more on the various aspects of this structure. Links to the videos are at the end.
Quick and Easy Yucca Plants for your desert layout
My Tombstone & Southwest Railroad layout needs lots of plant scenery native to the desert. So I'm always on the lookout for ways I can add to it. In my flower garden I noticed that the seed pods from my cornflowers looked a bit like those luxuriant yucca plants you see in desert surroundings, so I set about trying to make some mini yuccas for my layout. As you can see from the image they didn't come out too bad.
SMA19 Working HO Scale Helicopter
Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! In the midst of the self-created kaos of preparing clinics for the 2015 NMRA convention, I snuck in the time to work on this animation of a DCC controlled UH-1H Iroquois helicopter, that I built for a friend. This video captured the project just after I competed all but the final details and decaling, just before it flew off my workbench. All the sounds are generated by the model as you see it and hear it.
