Benchwork - Roadbed
LK&O Trackwork
This is my blog for those who wish to follow along as I build sub-roadbed and lay track on the LK&O Railroad. Any and all comments are welcomed and appreciated.
C&A Rapid Track Laying (Not)
I haven’t had much time for the Cornhill & Atherton recently, so nothing to report or ask you guys about – funny how life has a habit of getting in the way of your hobby 
Kaslo and Slocan part 3
After a delay while we were designing a new benchwork system, the Kaslo & Slocan is off and running again. The benchwork is a modification of a system that was first described in the Jan. and Feb. issues of Model Railroader. Yes I know I'm dating myself but the issue called Bookcase Model Railroad has intrigued me ever since I read it. In fact in the early 90's I made several of the modules to validate the system. The design worked except is was very heavy and the shelf brackets available at the time were difficult to install and didn't offer the bracket lengths available today.
From Stagnant to Steaming: Revise, Refurbish, Expand & Finish an HO layout
Last month (May), a man contacted me through our shared Local Hobby Shop: He had a 3'x16' HO layout that was half done. He also had grandsons who are 7- and 8-years old and who really wanted to run trains with Grandpa.
The challenge was that, ever since being diagnosed with cancer a year ago, between the chemo and the medication he just didn't have the energy to continue work on the layout. So he needed a strapping young man with the muscles and know-how to get the layout done and running well.

Construction of the Second Spline Helix - Part 2
I am in the process of finishing the fourth of five levels on the second spline helix. It takes me about a week to add the section, install the cork roadbed and track and do the soldering required for the feeders as well as soldering the track sections. This could probably be done faster if I was in a hurry or if I did not have chores around the house.
