Hi to every model railroader reading this post. I just bought from eBay 2 TOMAR Train Order Board H-845 semaphore signals and the instructions are very summarized and written for someone who is used to wiring this type of semaphore signal which I'm not. This is the model that comes with a double operating mechanism not needing a Tortoise switch motor to operate it I suppose. I am adding some photos to help clarify my post because I'm not sure I was explicit enough and may have led to some confusion.

Folks, this will be my attempt at a TOMA layout, representing operations in the Corpus Christi Texas area. It will be two N Scale modules, one 48 inches long and the other 44 inches long, both 20 inches deep. This is so they can fit in my travel trailer as I rat around for the railroad. I like the plan I have but nothing is set in stone. I need to have someone with a ton more experience look at it and see if there are any operational pitfalls I am blind to or any ideas or areas of improvement. Many thanks in advance for any and all help you fine folks can provide.

Hello. I don't have the space or resources right now to build my own layout the way I want it, with lots and lots of operating realism. I'm more of an armchair modeler at this point, but I really enjoy planning layouts and reading + making timetables. So if anybody wants, just respond and I'll draft you a track plan based on what you say (A diagram of your space would be helpful) and I'll get something back to you.

I have this MDC or similar caboose with a cast metal floor.  In disassembly, the floor broke... pretty neatly almost in the middle.

I'm looking for a suitable repair, and expect to do one of these, but am soliciting ideas that worked for others before embarking on a last-chance fix.

Repair proposal 1:   Epoxy and wood.  Simply size and shape a layer of wood to fit and epoxy it to the flat interior surface.  This is the simplest and most likely approach.
