Misckatonic HO Railroad in The Escapist
I happened across this article in The Escapist, about the fictional city of Arkham, by H.P. Lovcraft, and the guy who built an HO model of it for his take on the Miskatonic Railroad.
The article is less about model railroading, and more about the inspiration behind building one, but the pictures show some excellent modeling.

My Layout (Yes My Layout!!) First Module Done (and review)
Thanks to Arizona Rock and Mineral my model railroad dream will become a reality. I am doing a product review on their ballast and ground cover which will be featured on my 2'x5' switching layout. Construction will begin Monday and I can't believe it is really happening!!!

Are Metal Wheelsets Worth it?
I have rolling stock mainly consisting of older tyco and some trainset quality life-like cars that I am using for my switching layout. They all not have body mounted Kadees and the question remains should I convert them to Metal Wheelsets? I have 18 cars being used on the "layout" and was curious what is the cheapest/most economic way to get enough for them all? I as many of you know have an extremely small budget so whatever help you can give would be appreciated!

Selling trains on the internet
Hi, the recent RMC mentions selling trains on the internet with no resources mentioned. Other than eBay, have folks had any luck with other resources.
As an aside, I wish I had a local hobby shop! live in rural Northern California and all decent stores are hours away.

Sorry no video today, but here is a photo of Steve working CN 532 in Morris:
