Miles Hale and friends build a project layout in the TrainMasters TV studio using the principles of The "One Module" Approach, also known as TOMA.  In part 3, Miles is joined by carpenter Pierre Oliver as they assemble pre-fab benchwork to create three modules for the project.  While the kits screw together quickly and easily, there are lots of opportunities to modify the modules to suit their plan.

I've often considered having someone weather my more expensive models.  I've hummed and hawed about it for years.  There are a few things that stopped me in the past - 1) I should be able to learn it on my own and develop a new skill, 2) it can be quite costly and I'd rather spend my hobby dollars on other things, 3) who do I trust to do it and how long will it take, and 4) what if the job ends up being no better than what I could do and I'd paid for it?

I sometimes get mildly irritated with what often appears to me to be fawning praise of Loksound's full throttle decoders. One person says they are great and a bunch then pile in. Some people may be cowed with the praise and feel they have to agree. They may be very good decoders, and I have heard, watched and run a few examples, but they are not the only show in town.
