Problems when building the layout room
Its been a while since I posted about Building the layout room (over a year!). I did mention in that blog that I would talk about the problems we encountered, so better late than never ;)
Problem 1: the Module was too long...

The Big Boy
Today a buddy and I ventured up to North Bend, NE milepost 48.25
MRH RE TMTV tablet suggestion
Does anyone have experince with the Amazon Fire HD 10? Amazon Prime Day is coming and they should have a good price.
I enjoy curling up on the couch with my tablet to read MRH and Running Extra.
My Eclipse 7 needs replacing as it can not be updated and no longer can cast to my TV.
Need a bigger type face on screen that is why going to a 10.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your suggestions
3D Print: Bettendorf Truck HO
Started with a .skp file from the Sketchup 3D Warehouse, added some details, corrected some flaws, added holes for the axels and the bolster screw. Now that I have the Cura print file saved, I can print a new truck any time I want in 18 minutes on my old Printrbot Play.
walther's trainline FA shell removal instructions
Has anyone removed a shell from a Walther's Trainline FA? I have removed the couplers 4 screws and can see no other fasteners.It appears there maybe tabs on the shell, but prying the shell does not seem to get it loose from the chassis. Any ideas?

Special Visitor to the Layout...
Today the layout had a very special visitor drop by for a look and run on the layout. Kevin Lee Klettke from http://wnrr.net/ fame has been keeping in touch with me for some years now. And as luck would have it, Kevin was visiting his daughter here in Melbourne.
Digitrax Power Extender Polarity
Hi gang. Can anyone tell me what the polarity is on a Digitrax PX108 Power Extender? The unit has a black and a red wire. I want to use it with a non Digitrax decoder.

Hocking Valley 2.0 - The End
Due to the sudden death of my mother, the timetable for moving and dismantling the layout has been scrunched up considerably. As such, I will start dismantling immediately after these sessions are streamed. There will be one final update outlining the final progress as well as what to expect from the channel. After that, I'll probably remain off of YouTube aside from comments and keeping up with subscriptions. Videos will pick up again in a few months with a look at the temporary workbench setup. Until then, thanks for joining me on the journey and see you on Hocking Valley 3.0

Big Boy verses Allegheny
With all of this recent talk about the 'new' Big Boy', I just had to go back to comparisons among the big steam engines,...particularly the C&O Allegheny.
I found this VERY interesting comparison,...plus a number of follow-on postings.
