My N scale modules Meesville and New Eastbrook
As a member of the Dutch modular model railroad club the PH&LF Railroad Association I made several modules. My main two module sets are Meesville and New Eastbrook. Both are a work in progress whereas Meesville is the most complete scene.
With this blog I will give every now and then an update on my building progress. For the buildings on the modules I try to make as much as possible my own scratchbuild buildings.
To start two pictures of both module sets in current state.

Drawing of UTLX Narrow Frame Tank car wanted
I'm looking for some scale drawings of a Narrow Gauge "UTLX narrow frame tank car". Anyone know where I might find such a thing? I am thinking about scratchbuilding one or several.
Thanks,

Where is Jim Brown - I have a lot of brick streets to lay
I'm spending a lot of time on the streets at the moment. And I will confess to being a little concerned about how much still lies ahead of me.
"The road goes ever on and on..." Tolkien wrote and when I look at my plan of Green Town Illinois and consider how many miles of brick streets there are to model; "on and on" is about right if you multiply that by the nth degree.
Bachmann S-2 frame + Atlas S-2 shell
I was wondering if anyone here has tried and/or had success with mating the old Atlas S-2/S4 shell to the new Bachmann ALCO S-2 fame w/sound? I know Atlas will be releasing a newly tooled S-unit with sound EVENTUALLY, but I have a line on both the Bachmann and Atlas engines NOW, and at good prices, but I also don't want to get stuck with them if the idea doesn't work. I don't mind putting in a little work (grind, file, cut) to fit them together, but I don't want to risk destroying them either, know what I mean?
DPDT to Rotary switch for turnout control
Giday Folks
I am in the process of installing a few of the Proto 87 Moles on my layout for my turnout controls. I had full intentions of using a DPDT switch to operate the machines but am now considering using a rotary switch instead. I could use these to better show the direction of the turnout. My problem is in order to do this I have no idea what type of rotary switch to buy or the proper pin arrangement to wire it. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
