A Slight Rant on the quality of Menards Railroad Signs
So I recently got one of the menards lasercut railroad signs sadly I have to say I am not impressed, While at first look it was nice one thing that really is a deal breaker for me is the white part of the sign was tape, yup masking tape....
Why would they use that I was wondering if anyone else got one of these and if it is only the C&NW one that uses tape for the white.
Mike Confalone
First thing, I'm new to this hobby I've been involved for about 3 years and am just now getting some benchwork up, so I've never had a layout. I've heard of model railroading legends like John Allen and John Armstrong, but I have to wonder if Mike Confalone couldn't be among that group if he wanted it? I watch TMTV videos and I get great instruction by experts but it seems they're talking to an auditorium. When I watch Mike's video's it's like he's talking directly to me.

Was looking through YouTube, mainly lookign for ideas, as you do.

Help with configuration of Hare stationary decoder using LENZ DCC
Has anyone had any experience configuring a HARE stationary decoder with a Lenz system? I used to do this in my sleep but have forgotten how I did it. Yes I have read the manual and no it isn't helping me.

What's on your workbench? April 2018 (and some March)
March shot by so fast, we we hardly noticed. Or maybe we were too busy digging out from 3 snowstorms in the Eastern US. Anyway...
What have you been working on? Modeling melting run-off, spring flowers, or finally installing the DCC you got in the winter?
I finally built a workbench to have things on a workbench. I prefer short lead posts so I'll put pics in the 2nd post
Tight cropping photos
I thought I would post a few photos of tightly cropped versions of old photographs I have taken.
Try this technique with some of your own photographs because you can discover interesting views that you probably didn't know you had. Paradoxically, narrowing the field of view sometimes expands the illusion of reality:
