Temporarily set the Intermodal scene on my layout -Trenton Subdivision in N Scale  and placed much of the elements to ensure that everything will fit and gauge locations for light poles. The lights are non-working as I won’t be operating the layout in the dark. The telephone poles in the foreground will be substituted for lights. 

Hello everyone, to change it a bit here is a new video today of some trains (real ones this time). It is a station in the south of France 25 km from my home.

I finally got a moment to work on one of my own projects!  I have a SD70ACe by Athearn in VTR colors that I have wanted to upgrade.  I took some pictures along the way to show you how I organize a fairly simple wiring package. The headlights and ditch lights on this model were all LED, present and working.  I wanted to add working number boards but starting with a solid block of styrene was not in the cards.  My consolation was that I could add ground lights, step lights and a cab light.

(Updated - I originally had the wrong city- Thanks Rob Spanger for the correction)

Here is a FB post from Just Trains in Concord, California (in the greater SF Bay Area) -  They were burglarized early Wednesday morning and at least 12 brass locomotives were stolen. Please be on the lookout for these items showing up for sale on the web, especially e-Bay.  Please pass this on.
