Personal journal (editorial or commentary)
On order
All track and turnouts are on order. Some is already at the house some is on its way and the turntable is on order for when it becomes available (expected later this month). Since I have nothing from my previous layout to reuse I'm having to buy everything but that's ok. Really the only thing that I would re use besides rolling stock is the old tech 2 transformer I had, and since I want DCC that wouldn't be used either. I ordered a Digitrax Zephyr xtra starter set and a digitrax pr3xtra usb programmer so that I can hook a computer up.
SPSF Meadow Sub: Ex-SP Kodachrome SW1500 - A Locomotive Detail and Painting Blog
A couple weeks ago, I embarked on yet another kodachrome repainting project for my proto-lanced SPSF Railway, this time an ex-SP SW1500.
What follows is my personal journal through all steps of this project.
Exploring O-scale...
November update....
Hi. I'm AJ. I am an addict. I am addicted to model trains. Someone needs to save me from myself! 
Back to HO after 20+ Years
Well I have successfully ebay'd completely all of my N-scale related stuff. All rolling stock, loco's, scenery, structures and structure flat scenes. So after deleting a sizeable layout I decided that a small (8 x 10) along the wall HO switching layout would be in order.
Events - The 2016 Märklin H0 Forum Meeting
Hello! :) A video from the 3rd annual H0 Forum member meeting in Hamburg, Germany.
Feeling Overwhelmed?
Last week, a friend of mine mentioned feeling a bit overwhelmed by the layout project he'd started. I think we've all probably felt that way at one time or another in the hobby. A while back, I went so far as to consider giving up the hobby entirely - or severely cutting back. Problem was, I'd already gotten WAY too far in with a half-basement's worth of benchwork and track and a wall full of unbuilt kits.
My Churchill Layout
I thought I would finally post the development of my N Scale Door layout that I have been working on for several months now.
The Perils of Progress
Sometimes rapid progress can be a bad (ish) thing.
Over the last two days, I've run out of wood glue, spackle, wire for feeders, and rail joiners! Oh well looks like a couple of shopping trips are in order.
