Middle School Model Railroad: a tale of two tools
This is embarrassing, but having heard that confession is good for the soul I shall proceed.
Takin' it on the road! Heading west to house shop....
Heading to Missouri and Kansas to find a new home, wish me luck! Will try to take some photos on the way, see you all in a week or so.
Peace Bill
Watching a train and feeling my age.....
Saw a small train the other day on my way to Walmart.....CSX GP40-2 couple of boxcars, couple of tanks, working the remnants of the Erie Railroad Lockport Branch, (no camera, phone hanging on wall at home where it belongs....) when it occurred to me that I have lived here long enough to have outlasted three railroads!
Scratchbuilding a Trolley Work Car!
My, My have I been taking my sweet time announcing this one. Many of you may, or may not have already seen my thread/blog entry on the built of an O scale trolley truck from scratch. I had promised that I would create a new entry to share the build of the trolley that would use this scratchbuilt truck. [Note: You can see the build for the trolley truck here] And then, I proceeded to not do it.
Going Overboard on Lumber
Last weekend it was cold outside, -36c, so I decided to make a few wrapped bundles of lumber to scatter here and there on the layout. I used information from another modeler posted on his blog which required cutting pine to scale bundle size, printing some bundle wrapping and then cutting the paper to size to wrap around the wood. I only planned on doing a dozen bundles but it was so easy I made a lot more.
