I have added a downloadable copy of my timetable planner MS Excel spreadsheet to my web page.

If you want to create your own timetable, you can enter a start time for each train, the running time between stations and the dwell time at each station and the spreadsheet will automatically generate a schedule.

   Had a few spare minutes today so made a rail joiner tool for my S scale track Just a piece of code 100 rail bent to a comfortable angle and a piece of brass soldered on the bottom. The handle is carved wood with the rail driven into a drilled hole. A joiner is slipped on til it hits the brass stop then can be pushed onto the end of the rail being joined. Saves wear and tear on one's finger tips :>) ......DaveB

I recently held a clinic for some of the local modelers on my methods for casting resin freight cars.  A couple people were out of town and asked me to video tape it.  Instead a made two videos about 20-30 min long that covers the info I presented in the clinic, along with a casting demo.

I posted the videos on You Tube (first time trying that).

Here are links to the You Tube videos:
