Santa Fe 1st Arizona Sub under construction November 2018 update
Work is progressing on the layout room, with modules now going 2/3 around the room, and only one wall left to insulate and Gybrock (drywall). Meanwhile work on the name trains continues, in an effort to have each car as close to prototype as possible.
Detection & Signals Finally Finished...
Four years ago today I began the installation of the detection & signalling system after I decided that I wanted to see a fully functioning signal system on my layout.
Today I wired up the last dwarf signal, and completed the entire installation!
Brrr- Epic railfanning in the snow today!

Custom Fabricated Turnouts
I know about Fasttrax, and I had heard of this Proto 87 . But when I went looking thru the Proto 87 website, and watched their video, I got confused. Today I saw a posting by Joe Baker that may just offer a clearer explanation. I hope he can teach me (us) something.
Sources of HO resistor wheelsets?
I'm looking for sources of pre-made HO scale 33" 10K ohm resistor wheelsets — as opposed to wiring my own.
I'm aware of:
- Jaybee - jbwheelsets.com/resistor.html (listed as "temporarily not available")
- Logic Rail Technologies - logicrailtech.com/dws.htm
Other sources?
