Construction of the Second Spline Helix - Part 3 - DCC Testing
I finally finished the second of two spline helices for my N-scale layout that is under construction. I have included a video, this time with sound, since it is a sound equipped engine, that shows the results of the first DCC test of the second helix.
need containers????
this is a product review of an item that is new to me. about 2 weeks ago i received an email from Lord Maurice asking me if I'd do a review of his product. these are made of card stock & when assembled they are pretty strong. as i mentioned in the vid, A sharp or new exacto blade should be used. they are nicely detailed for what they are. some have slight weathering & door hinges are printed in. this is an easy & affordable way to fill up your IM yard

Building resin freight car kits
I've been building HO scale resin freight car kits recently. Since April 29, nine have been assembled and ready for the paint shop. Additionally, three Tichy and two Accurail kits were upgraded. More details and images are shared on my blog.
Additional kit builds will be shared in the next few weeks on the blog. And sometime soon I'll need to get the paint booth in order!
Micro engineering code 55 N scale question?
Hi All, I got some code 55 unweathered code 55 flextrak today and looking at it I notice that there are places where the molded on spike heads are missing. Every section has them missing at the same spots so it doesn't look like shipping damage, more like the dies didn't get a full shot of plastic or something similar. I've never used this N scale track before so am curious if anyone else has noticed this problem? ...Dave Branum
Procrastinating or what?
OK. I'm in a funk. I've got all these tortoise switch machines that, I assume, can do power routing to my frogs but want to plan for DCC controls of the mainline switches (future JMRI) but really don't feel confident about getting started.

I'm looking for a prototype photo of piles of rails. Reviewed General discussion for last 2 years and found nothing like this. Help, please?
O scale relative to HO question
Am I right in assuming that a 12'X18" layout would upsize to 24'X36" in O scale? I am thinking about moving to O for an urban switching yard 25'x20' along 2 walls.
Thanks,
David
