Modeling general discussion

Animated structures
I'd like to share my latest animation with you all. I model narrow gauge and have been creating animations for several years now. The latest is a new On3 module with a turntable, sand house, coaling tower and water tank.
Here is the video as a photo can't show movements - enjoy ...

Cricut Tip
While we have had our Cricut for 4 months, I have had remarkably few chances to use it. Consequently I am still going through a steep learning curve. This weekend I have been trying a few new things and after considerable head scratching managed to have a couple of wins so thought I would share the experience with you.
TDS Supersonic Speakers
Has anyone purchased the new TDS supersonic speakers from Tony's Train Exchange? I've seen two Youtube videos where they have been used (Eric Fiske) but I would like to get feedback from viewers before I consider making a purchase. Thanks.
Weekly Photo Fun - April 24th to April 30th, 2015
Great work last week everyone! It's time to start this week's Weekly Photo Thread!

Magazine Collection "show off" area
Well I did a bit of digging around to find a past topic like this and I was surprised not to nobody that I know of has made a post showing their magazine collections. I thought this would be useful for people who want to show off there collections (i know most of you probably want to)
Please note the post it notes in the issues simply mark ads and stuff I want to remember, that is all.

Virtual Reality Layouts 1,000' of mainline in a small room
I still want a real layout. But think of the possibilities of creating a virtual layout that has a thousand feet of mainline plus all the siding for operation in a small room. This is an interesting concept from Microsoft. It won’t create our layout yet but who knows how soon it will be possible

Visiting New Brunswick, Canada
Will be visiting New Brunswick this week. Any model railroaders out there from the Saint John area? Any must sees regarding old train trestles, structures, bridges, branch lines, museums, etc. I want to take some shots for reference purposes for my next layout. Also any layouts I can visit in clubs or museums?
