Some of my earliest and warmest railroad related memories had to do with visiting the legendary Strasburg Rail Road. A recent arrival made me realize that I’ve secretly been modeling with almost every layout I’ve built. Let me explain…
I like sharing my hobby with a wide range of people, some with plenty of railroad knowledge and some with very little. This is an introduction to the layout for the latter.
The 2024 Altoona N Scale Weekend was a blast. I very much appreciate the way that the FreemoN gang will let randos come play too (provided they play by the rules). So I took full advantage of that and the combined TTRAK layout to grab some fun photos of my recent V&O 603 build.
I put my TTRAK Technology Demonstrator Module together to show off a few of the innovations I’ve developed and discovered to help make more interesting or user friendly modules. You can learn about the various aspects of the module in this post: Hacked Unitrack, 3D Printed Leg Adjuster Knobs, my Standard Below Grade TTRAK Frame, […]
This is how to use my 3D printed Unitrack compatible roadbed and non-Kato track on a TTRAK module.
Adjusting the leveling bolts on NTRAK and TTRAK modules sucks. Adding some printed knobs makes it far easier. These are those knobs.
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…
I needed to pull together a list of my TTRAK modules for a layout coordinator and figured it made the most sense to do as a blog post here. Here’s my current TTRAK menu.
I got tired of my vast unsceniced yard, so I started scenicing it. Then I got tired of not being able to run trains anymore, so I finished it. Mostly.
As you can tell from this site, I’m a big proponent of Dead Season Modeling. When a call went out for clinicians for the 2024 N Scale Enthusiast convention I jumped at the opportunity to talk about the subject.
