Autumn Operation Session 2015 on the C&E
Last weekend we had a nice operation session on the Cleveland & Eastern RR.
While I was involved in the action, little to no pictures were taken. But we gathered some anyway.
Train MA-5 picked up some cars and is leaving Elizabeth Oaks heading east to Cleveland,OH (Staging). Local (mid left) waits for clear tracks to resume its switching job.
My latest visit to the Georgetown & Allen Mountain RR
It's always a pleasure to visit Michael and the Mrs. to chat, enjoy refreshments, and of course see his layout. Today the wife and I made the one hour trek and had a wonderful time. I didn't take any pictures of the layout that are better than what Michael has been posting; however, I did get a couple of shots worth posting.
A New Blog for my HOn3/HO Efforts
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share a new blog I've set up to chronicle my modeling in HOn3, as well as some HO standard gauge. There are only two posts so far, in which I've discussed the basic concept of my freelanced railroad-to-be as well as a notional history.

Hopefully some will find something useful or interesting in there!

Virtual Model Railroads
Here are some photos of my model Railroadz layouts in Trainz 12. One of them is a small oval while the other is more of a work in progress but NG.
Getting back to it... semaphores and signalling
Starting to get cold outside, finishing up the last of the summer outside construction projects, my thoughts turn back to the railroad -- which has been gathering dust this summer. Tasks on my list to get going on are:
1. Replacing a couple of Tortoise connection cables -- the spacers I used to keep the slide on connectors centered had to be replaced. Am using short spacers of styrene glued on each end of the slot -- coincidentally the same size as I use for filling rail gaps.
JMRI Decoder Pro Setup Mac?
I am looking for help on how to set up the JMRI Decoder Pro Software for a Mac. It is a MacBook Pro running the most recent operating system. I am using the NCE Powercab system and the USB interface. I am looking for help on how to set this up as I am having trouble. I would check the JMRI Yahoo group but can not access it since my school has is blocked.
Thanks,

2 Years on the BNML!
I just realized that it's been 2 years since I began construction of my layout!
Here's my post from 2 years ago: Finally... A Start!
Thanks for sharing in my project everyone!
I think I'll have to celebrate by running trains this week ;)

Guys,
A friend sent me a note he got from Bill Kirchmeyer.
My friend Andy Sperandeo passed away last night. Andy's close friend Gordy
called me to let me know.
I will supply arrangements when they are available.
My sympathies to his friends and family
