Manns Creek Narrow Gauge in On3
Welcome to my first entry for what will be the blog on my new Manns Creek Railway in On3. I started build in On30 a little more than 10 years ago as a diversion from working in HO scale. At the time I had built a fictional railroad in HO scale called the Roanoke and Southern, which was featured in the May 2010 issue of MR. by the time my article was published is was firmly hooked on O scale narrow gauge. Although if first started constructing models in On30 (O scale models with 30" track gauge) I soon widened the gauge out to On3 (O scale models w
Jacksonville Spur Layout Update
Hello everyone, I have finished installing and detailing the road. Also repainted and added details to warehouse buildings. Next project will be making the electric poles more realistic and adding better plastic pellet silos.
Progress on the Maryland Midland
It has been a while since I have posted anything, but there has been some progress. Track is completely laid and wired, the backdrop is coming along and trains are running. Some scenery is started and an operational scheme is being developed.
Tour of the Valley Line
Hope this finds you safe and well, all things considered. Looks like it'll be a while before anybody is able to visit the layout, so if you've ever wanted to attend an open house and couldn't - or if you're just looking for a 23 minute distraction from the current craziness - give this a view. Feedback welcomed - Enjoy!

#7 Takes the High Road....
Well, locomotive #7 got a trip through the paint shop this weekend and is now in full service. I got this Bachmann 4-6-0 off eBay for $40 and she wasn't running. Somebody had mis-programmed the sound value decoder. I reprogrammed it and got it running and then replace the OEM decoder with a LokSound V.5. I've been running her for about 6 months in a terrible kindergarten paint job somebody put on (lots of silver paint on various parts and the footboards a poopoo brown color).
Cab Ride on the CWE
Last month, Greg McComas stopped by for a visit. You may know Greg from his posts of his Michigan Interstate Railway. He brought along his GoPro camera and we shot a cab ride on the railroad. The tour starts at the engine facility at Nelsonville on the east end of the modeled portion and wraps up at North Pierce on the west end. Greg was kind enough to post the video on his YouTube channel. Here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlArolLdoXw&t=19s.
TMTV
I have just joined for one year TrainMasters TV. I've been aware that Bill Scobie's Rio Grand Southern in Sn3 Layout was one of the videos on TMTV. Can you tell me how to find this video as it is one of the reasons that I subscribed to TMTV? I dearly want to see Bill's Layout!
