Using my “Hacked Unitrack” on a TTRAK Module
This is how to use my 3D printed Unitrack compatible roadbed and non-Kato track on a TTRAK module.
Module Leg Leveling Bolt Knobs
Adjusting the leveling bolts on NTRAK and TTRAK modules sucks. Adding some printed knobs makes it far easier. These are those knobs.
Conrail 6466: My Intermountain SD40-2 “Keeper”
Back in 2017 I was incredibly excited to receive my order of four of Intermountain’s Conrail SD40-2s. Seven years, countless hours of work, and quite a few additional dollars later, I’ve decided I’m only keeping one of them. But she does look good…

Over the top: ground cover has come to Windsor St
The time of staring at an unpainted yard full of track has come to an end. Last night we blew the trench whistle and went over the top.
