Lighted uncoupling tool
Good find under May news: Lighted uncoupling tool from Hobby Advisors. I tested and I think it is a must have tool.
It always pays to read the "small print " in MRH.
BTW it should be included in a What's Neat Show.

Help removing and replacing track
I have several sections of old brass track and turnouts that I need to remove from my layout and replace with nickel-silver track.
What do we choose to model?
A friend visited with me several weeks ago. He is building a magnificent N scale model of the Montgomery, Alabama Union Station and train shed for his 1950's based layout. His work is museum quality, and his attention to prototypical detail amazing. As I looked at the photos of his work thus far, I had to ask him: would he be modeling both the whites-only bathrooms and the colored bathrooms?
Lancaster Central v2 reboot
I made the decision to rebuild my layout, now that it’s 5 years old, it’s time to remove the basic things and focus on more details. I will be removing the ‘filler’ cars from the roster, upgrading and weathering the cars that stay. For some reason I procrastinated for several months and then I decided decided it’s now or never.
The mainline was straightened on one end and the connection removed that made a loop between the scenes of the visible section. The passing siding was extended. Most of the mainline stayed.
