Hello again all,

Over the past few weeks I've been putting together a website that pieces together all the model railroading stuff I've been doing for the last 12 months.

All of my YouTube tutorials have been categorised to make the easier to navigate to a specific topic and I've also included some written tutorials I did a while ago there as well.

Model Railroad Clubs or Layouts near Charlottesville Virginia? I will be visiting family there for 2 weeks May 27-June 10. If you want to tell me privately email to kedes at usc dot edu.

Some years ago, Seashore Trolley Museum restored Atlantic Shore Lines Steeplecab #1--the last of the wooden steeplecabs.  If you're interested in what's involved in that magnitude of project, they documented it nicely on their website.  (The loco actually ran into the restoration shed under its own power...)

Like us, they had to decide what time in her career to restore her to, and the decision making is described here.

And here she sits, outside the shop that rebuilt her:

Hi Guys,

With the numbers of posts I read about Floquil and "Grimey Black", I was wondering if anybody used a palette and customized their own colors? I do for everything. I get mixed results,

Can anyone share tricks in mixing colors,,, sometimes I make a batch of aged concrete and put it in a jar. Do you rely on premixed for anything?
