Control Panels
Does anyone know of a shop which makes control panels either from etched anodized Aluminum or plastic?

30th Street Station update
I've been working on some overdue updates to my S Scale model of Philly's 30th Street Station. I put in a concourse featuring a representation of the "Transportation" sculpture and a ticket purchase area. I also put in some LED lighting fed off of an Arduino.
Admiring the "Transportation" sculpture in the concourse.
Never thought I could fall in love with a commuter train :D
Well, This German S-bahn commuter will shortly be transformed into something very Swedish.. BUT! It will hurt my heart to remodel this beauty... A tutorial is coming up later for the transform..
Johstown and Garyville Railroad, Willa's sentimental journey
This is great approach to a video. Have my own video of this layout and it really worth a visit.
Easy does it | York Industries pt 2 | Follow the Build
A big pet peeve of mine is to hear more about how easy and quick a model was built, rather than the enjoyment it produced. While not everyone is in this hobby for the therapy, some do indeed relax with the hobby. And if you do, do us all a favor and share it. We need to reign in this hobby from being an expensive competition to being a hobby for me, and you I guess.
Video from the Operating session on a friends layout
About two weeks ago I attended an operating session on my friend Matthias Great-britN modular layout with his Penzance and Parbourne stations.
It took some time to edit the video, but here is the result

An update on my HO mill project
I have recently had some inspiration on my mill diorama. I rebuilt the base and adapted a new loading area as well as hand laying the two lengths of track.

DeWitt Clinton
Okay, so... I got a DeWitt Clinton engine from eBay (single boxed engine and tender) and it ran when I got it... but due to it's age, was a bit loud. So I bought some oil for it... "Liberty Oil" that, according to the sales page, was specially formulated for "Bachmann engines", plastic safe... all of that. I put a drop on each axle gear (on the tender, that's where the motor is) and then attempted to run it. Now, all it does is short out the track.
Derelict Factory
I have the Walthers, Cornerstone “Centennial Mills” kit. A very popular kit, seen on many layouts. I would like to build and finish the kit as a derelict factory, but I need some help on techniques, as I am new to the hobby and have little modeling experience. The three following images are examples of derelict factories. The first two are a bit extreme, but for ideas. The third is probably closer to what I would like the mill to look like. Please show us your derelict factories and indicate the method, technique, tips, etc.
Problem with momentum on Broadway Limited SW7
I have a Broadway Limited SW7. CV3 and CV4 are both set to 0 so the loco should respond immediately to any throttle changes but it acts as though it has acceleration and braking momentum configured. JMRI shows a standard speed table. here is a short video showing the problem.
Any thoughts or ideas please?
