Here's our work from the past week, from plaster to grass, the quarry area get's ready for buildings and track

This is awesome, when is the last time you've seen a model train layout on a national TV add? Makes ya wonder if somebody in the GG company has a model railroad and said hey, let's do this add.....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfl0q92sD_g

Wanted to share a little bit on my recent light upgrade in the Kato Daylight Observation. 

I noticed that because of the HUGE light shroud the last 4 seats don’t get illuminated. 

And my little n scale family is not visible at all... 

i made a table lamp from a piece of clear sprue left over from some plastic window kit. Chucked it in a drill, and used mini files to slowly shape the shade, then to also cut underneath to form the base.. 

Hi,

I'm just about to do a Soundtrax sound decoder install in a HO Bachmann Shay that I purchased over a decade ago that is "DCC Ready". Looking for hints or tips from anyone that has experience doing this. To tell the truth, I'm a little scared.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony
