just a few pics for ya'll to comment on. I've built these from light wood and cardboard that I seem to have an enless supply of. Hope you like what you see. the gas station is a mock-up of one I used to work at, the autozone is one I freekly visit and the motel is one that my wife and her cousins stayed at in piegon forge tn.

Scratch built structures on the K&EFR

I started building the Kanunda and Emu Flat Railway in 2000 as an operating HO scale model railway layout.             I find that operating with appropriate scenery and structures in place is more satisfying that operating on a "plywood pacific". So until recently I have been using temporary structures that I have bought at swap meets or built from kits with little concern to prototype. There are no kits for South Australian line side structures that I know of so I will have to scratch build most of them.

Bye Bye to the Northern California Consolidated

Well, this is the beginning of the blog to track my progress of an N-scale endeavor.

Three road names of Western Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe.

As you can see the pics show the layout as a round the room...the duck under was low enough that my dear wife whacked her head three times in a row in less than a 5 minute time span, no joke.  So I, yes I, decided to move it, because it was built to move, to the garage for a while.

Building a JL Innovative Brookside Ice House

Hello everyone

I thought I might as well share my latest project with you. I am building a JL Innovative Brookside Ice House kit. I have always liked the look of this kit from the pictures i have seen. When I got it home I realized that I don't really need an ice house. I assembled the main walls and started to think.

Laser Cut Parts

Hi folks, I am currently working on the drawings of the C&O Bridge at Hawks Nest WV. With the intent to build this bridge for my layout (I model the C&O from Hawks Nest to Hinton).

Free-moN Staging Yard - 16"x10'

 It was showtime at the Hiller.

Silicon Valley Free-moN had our modules set up and trains running only to find...

ONLY ONE PASSING SIDING ON THE WHOLE LAYOUT????

We had over a week of show and the ability to run only two trains at a time?

What would happen next Sunday when the whole group showed up and wanted to run trains?
Draw straws?
Stand in line?

Something had to be done!

So I built (most of) a staging yard in (most of) a week.
