Layout tour
SMD at night
A night view of my tire dealer (N-scale) - also a HDR-photo.
The lamp is a SMD-LED glued to a small styrene tube. The LED is heavily dimmed with a much bigger resistor then required as a minimum. It's unbelievable how bright those tiny SMD-LEDs are.

For the total approach to a model railroad this is one of the best in the US. This RR in set in the modern era and it's operations come as close as you can get to the real thing. Lessons to be learned for this layout are endless. Three Parts.

From Stagnant to Steaming: Revise, Refurbish, Expand & Finish an HO layout
Last month (May), a man contacted me through our shared Local Hobby Shop: He had a 3'x16' HO layout that was half done. He also had grandsons who are 7- and 8-years old and who really wanted to run trains with Grandpa.
The challenge was that, ever since being diagnosed with cancer a year ago, between the chemo and the medication he just didn't have the energy to continue work on the layout. So he needed a strapping young man with the muscles and know-how to get the layout done and running well.
