Layout Progress
Well here are some pictures of the progress I have made over the last few months. The last of the old layout has been torn out and replaced and most of the peninsulas have been built. Track has been started so things are beginning to look like a railroad again.
This will represent the entrance to the Everman Park:
Around the corner we go to the yard:
The Northern Tuton Railroad
Hi all,
About a year ago, I re-fell in love with trains. I have a very stereotypical story; loved them as a kid, "grew out of them" as a teen, and now, in my 20's, am finding my rekindled passion. :)
Four months went by quick!
Wow! I can't believe that it was April when I last posted to my blog here. I have been very busy with my layout entry for the Model Rail Radio contest,
I also rode up north to Gig Harbor to visit with Mike Deverell. We had a great visit, running trains and shooting the bull.
I also shot a little video of his layout

Before I cut this thing up for kindling or scrap wood..
I have a 1' wide, 8' long piece of benchwork (built in 3 pieces bolted securely together), complete with cork roadbed. I pulled up all the track, but the cork is still there and in decent condition. If anybody wants it, they're welcome to it. I rather doubt it, but maybe there's somebody in the area who doesn't want to bother building benchwork. This is pretty sturdy and square, 1x4 frame with 5/8" plywood top. Here's the track plan:
Planning Wind River Plastics
After getting my feet wet regarding turnout construction I decided to revisit my previous plans for a switching module. I checked back on the comments on that plan and decided to ditch the interchange track and focus on the actual injection molding plant instead.
Pembroke II - Track Details
There is a reason why William Cornelius Van Horne paid thousands of navvies to lay the CPR: it is remarkably tedious work! I mean, really, four spikes for every tie! Is it really necessary?
Tonight I shook the frets out of the Proto:87 Stores packaging and tried out some of their joint bars and spikes. The joint bars work fine, if a little subtle. The spikes will drive me crazy!
LED lighting
Been thinking about adding lighting to the structures I am redoing. I like to add LEDs but I have no ideal where to start. I have looked on the net and got more confused. I did a search on here but found mostly Blogs about LEDs for locomotives.
