After a big push of scenery in Windsor St, trains are running again
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.

My past few visits to the East Broad Top and it’s phoenix like resurrection have given me an itch, and V scale, or virtual modeling, has given me an easy way to scratch it.
A recent Reddit thread made me realize I should share some photos of some of the high quality TTRAK modules that I’ve seen (and a few that I’ve built that might measure up).
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.
Sometimes in my haste to make progress I create downstream problems for myself. Sometimes those problems go beyond the physical. And sometimes the only way to solve them is to just Eat the Frog and do it. I did both these thingsĀ in my New NCR’s Windsor St Yard.
I’m not building my New NCR Layout to host a ton of people. Instead I’m building it for smaller “experiences”. I just got my chance to host my first one, and I am pretty happy with how it went.
Back in December of 2021 I took a day to go get some good reference photos for NCR area winter scenery. These are the albums arranged by location.
I was getting ready to build the building for Wolf Home Products at my Windsor St crossing and realized that I had made a big mistake. So I fixed it.
Atlas’s code 55 track line is great, except when it isn’t. The various internal wiring in the switches that transmits power to the closure rails sometimes fails, leaving ugly unpowered sections right where you don’t want them. A line of conductive paint solves this problem quickly and easily.
The return of the Altoona N Scale weekend was a great success and the best one yet.
