I found a real bargain for a small portable work light. It is made from the "heart" of the DeWalt DCL040 work light - the LED lamp with hood and built in parabolic reflector.

Details in following post.

Good morning MRH'rs,

I am looking for some suggestions from the model railroading collective...

For a current modeling project, I am looking for a larger format, thin monitor. Specifically, I am looking for a screen that is about the size of a standard 27" monitor but is as thin as an iPad. 

My constraints are: no restriction on width (in fact the wider the better), no more that 19 1/2" tall, and 1" or less thick.

I'm trying to figure out what methods and tools to use to create quality, consistent miter joints on plastic (molded corrugated) sheets for a scratch build structure. Cutting the 45 degree miter is beyond me and I need some input.

Thanks in advance.

It's going to be one of several grain elevator/feed mill structures I'm working on using existing prototype designs.

In addition to Jason Miller’s excellent article in this month’s Running Extra, I’d like to add another avenue of shared expertise.  This weekend SoundTraxx announced their 8 function 21-pin DCC decoder and just recently ESU announced their new non-sound DCC Decoders.  I follow the YouTube and have watched decoder installations fairly critically.
