Mascoutin Valley Railroad - Its a simple kind of plan
I was putzing around this evening and took my track plan and put in a digital format! It follows my system map pretty close. Ore Trains will flow from Iron Mountain, MI to Barnaby Mine and back, and other traffic will flow from staging in Crandon, WI to Iron Mountain, MI or run a turn job at the mill in Florence.
The aisle ways range from 36 to 48 inches. And the layout is designed to tie into Free-Mo Modules!

Broadway Limited steam locomotive drive wheels
I am trying to find new drivers for my Broadway Limited Power House 2-8-2 locomotive ( L&N J-4 #1776 ). The model is no longer in production and BLI does not have any replacement wheel sets. Does anyone know of a source for parts other than BLI?
Thanks in advance.

Seaside Carnival OBD 2
It all starts somewhere. And this time it starts with a kit that I am ill prepared to build. I have very little experience with plastic kits and this is not really the kit I should start with. But I will.
I imagine this kit will take months for me to build. As it stands, it looks like I will have to paint and weather 1200+ parts. That is part of the fun though. Gives me something to do while I put OBD 1 aside for awhile to reset some plans. Two more videos are in cue for OBD 1, I have a problem scheduling videos, Hate to have them private, I'm weird, I know.

SNE - Foam Core is down
I have now laid out all of the foam core. It all fits very nicely and very tightly. It is 80mm high to accommodate the DCC Concepts point motors.
Block signals
Has anyone used the Azatrax TS2 block signal control board. It looks like a good product. I have sent them 2 e-mails trying to get more info but so far no reply. Are they still in business? Any help is appreciated.
