A different method of spline construction.
I have been wanting to write this for a couple years now but didn’t have a good picture of the concept! Recently I needed a bridge in a spot where the railroad existed and had to cut out a section of my spline sub roadbed. I was wondering what I would do with it. Sleep is a great place to create. I picked up the cutout section and it came to me that I had what I needed to show you all what I did! This method is very strong and light at the same time. A constant humidity environment is essential however.

Unused brass track - worth trying to sell or just junk?
A few years ago when I first tried to start model railroading I got a lot of old brass track from a friend. It looks pretty much new, but I've decided that it's probably best to use nickel silver track instead. The only question I have is what to do with the brass track. I have a lot of it in good condition, is it likely that it could be sold on eBay or elsewhere, or is it just junk that no one would buy?
Fiddle Yard redux - Design ideas
While there are MANY forum threads here on MRH (I know, because I just spent the last half hour going through ALL of them!), NONE of them address the questions I am about to put forth.
Invis-a-Mount
Does anyone remember these plastic fixtures that had a vertical oval column that stuck up thru the plywood deck from the bottom,....for adapting Peco turnout solenoids underneath the plywood deck vs directly attached to the bottom of the switch's ties ??
