Many Model Railroaders just starting out just don't have all the fancy tools you see all the older Model Railroaders using. "WELL" FLASH try Pawn shops!!! I walked into a pawn shop this past Saturday while my wife was in the fabric store two doors down from it. It was to hot to set in the Car and I didn't feel like wandering around with a bunch of Old women looking at bolts of Fabric. 

Classes have ended, we had a nice graduation ceremony for the outgoing eighth graders headed off to high school, I’ve finished end-of-term progress reports and I can finally turn my attention to planning for next year.

Another web-show hits the streets with your favorite misfit as the Host. Come and see why the stiffs are getting up and stretching their disapproving fingers. MR&S show is the talk show that talks about what is up in the community and shares clinics and demonstrations, in each show. We interview unique and unknown modelers of all genres, not because we can't get the best, but because we heard it all before.

The Model Railroads and Structures show isn't for everyone, and that's cool with us...
 

It was a very productive first weekend on the new layout! 

First step: completed the hidden reverse loop that will be under the first level.
