Hey guys/gals

In another thread Joe made mention of a new Allagash video coming to TMTV and to the MRH Store in September. I wanted to give you some more details. 

I want to emphasize that beginning with the to-be-released video to TMTV, I'm on a path toward recording every corner of the railroad from the perspective of a railfan. I started to do this a few years ago with a two-part Allagash Railfan Video Series, but I feel very confident in saying that this recent effort takes things to the next level..

Hello fellow modelers,

I am also into tabletop games and recently came across some stuff to enhance the bases of the figures.

I got me some barbed wire with a diameter of 1mm and a steel cable also 1mm.

Compared to the stuff you can buy in the modelrailroad hobby supply, these are cheaper by up to 60%. There are also grass tufts, static grass and nearly every scenery material you can imagine. All from companies not known in the modelrailroad hobby, but well known for tabletop gamers.

I am having trouble with my swing bridge I use to access the center of my layout holding a consistent height. I suspect this has to do with the varying humidity more then anything else.

So I am considering raising my layout by about a foot and then using a desk chair to roll from the outside to the inside. It would be high enough so I wouldn't have to duck. I would put a couple of those plastic floor mats down that have spikes on one side to hold them in place on carpet.
