Hello Everyone!

This latest update on my railroad.  We lay some track, clean the layout room and I share some purchases!  Progress is slow, but we are making head way!

Check out my latest video!  We even have a couple of run by's!

Let me know what you think!

Down on the Corner

Hey everbody!

Last time I left you we made 12 feet of benchwork for my free mo yard but the Modutrak legs I decided to use didn't work too great.  Loads of people came to my aid and offered a bunch of great suggestions!  Thank you!  So I made a video demonstrating what methods I tried and what ones worked best. 

Take a look at this video talking about my legs...uh my Modutrak Legs.

I've been doing some construction on the Yard.  I've been using the Free Mo module standards and Modutrak legs standards to base my construction off of.  I got the module frames together but the legs aren't fitting in the pockets without some level of "persuasion."  I posted a video show what I've gotten done and asking the viewer for some tips or tricks to get the legs to slide a bit better.

The less invasive the suggestion the better! 

Hello all!

Hello all!

This month on the Mascoutin Valley Railroad we are doing a little crowd sourcing to see what layout segment they want to see finished first!!

Please watch the video below for details!  You can vote here on the blog, my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MascoutinValleyRR/ or in the comments section of the YouTube video

Hey everybody here is my progress on the Mascoutin Valley Railroad for May!  Looking back I got a quite a few odds and ends done!  We even have hats!!! Hope you enjoy the video!

Till next time, keep 'er in Notch 8.

I was putzing around this evening and took my track plan and put in a digital format!  It follows my system map pretty close.  Ore Trains will flow from Iron Mountain, MI to Barnaby Mine and back, and other traffic will flow from staging in Crandon, WI to Iron Mountain, MI or run a turn job at the mill in Florence.

The aisle ways range from 36 to 48 inches.  And the layout is designed to tie into Free-Mo Modules!

A couple of people have been asking about the background for my model railroad so I'd figure I'd share it.  I wrote it over a year ago and the basic concept have stayed the same.   I'm going to add some edits of what is happening now
