I picked up an old Concor Santa Fe Cow and Calf set on the cheap. I bought them really just to sit in my roundhouse area to fill in the empty space. Couldn't decide on a paint scheme, so I ended up...

Besides missing the number decals, the WM is DONE. I'll pick those decals up in time, but for now it is a functioning engine. Ended up using a TCS MT1500 decoder for the install. Headlight is another...

I had a friend who replaced all of the lights in his shop with LED shop lights. The bulbs came in these card board boxes and FOAM inserts. (See pics)

You can say that again. I think the lack of (affordable) ready to run locos really puts off a lot of people from any Nn3 work. Fortunately, MT has a line of ready to run Nn3 rolling stock, so that...

Absolutely, most of my posts on here are of my trials and tribulations hopeful that next guy may be able to learn something from it. I've learned so much from this group over the years.

I kind of...

Time to blow off the dust from this thread (.....again).

Progress has been made on both the scenery and rolling stock. The engine is still in pieces and is laughing at me.

The station and...

Our modular club did the same. I try to pick them up when they're on sale.

It is nice to see some projects that have been hung up on the work bench come to a completion.

I had been waiting for a big custom decal order, and they finally came in. So, I wasted no time and...

As promised, some moving pictures of our N Scale Modular Layout presented by the Railroad Model & Historical Society of Southeastern Ohio.

First up we follow Amtrak through parts of the layout and...

Happy day of Birth!

Next set of pictures.
Really pleased with how this small MoW area is turning out. The only complaint is that there isn't enough yard space to show off my MoW equipment!

Held a private run session on the weekend that what would have been our Annual Holiday show. (Thanks Covid)

Here we see the new logging equipment making its way up the mountain with the main yard...

skipgear ohh wow.... I need a few of those!

Cruising right along with the slug. Paint and decals applied. Next step is to clear/ dull coat, and wait for the DCC chip and MT Coupler conversions.

Seeing how my I finished up a few projects, I decided it was time to start on the slug. With the recent acquisition of the Western Maryland BL2, I thought a WM slug unit would be cool to pair it with...

Had a good MRR weekend which divided up my time between painting, lighting, and DCC'ing. Was able to clear the work bench off by completing several projects that had been cluttering it up....... I...

Thats fine.... I just thought that you would have preferred the pretty pictures of the DCC-ified 2-8-0 Consolidation over some pictures of boring decoders.
Decoder pictures it is!

Hope the...

5 x Digitrax DZ123 hard wire decoders to continue the push of DCC-fying some of my older engines.

I hope to do a few installs this weekend... and then I'll post pics. (Hoping that will serve as a...

We had a work session this week at our space in the mall where our modules are set up. We are planning on having a Run Session in place of our annual Holiday Show With the impending shut down due to...

Happy Day of Birth!

Screen grabs from videos don't make for the best pictures, but here is a quick shot of my smoke stack with the flashing lights. Very subtle, but will look great when we have some "night" op sessions!...

Finished up three more building light installs. The white building has three individual upper rooms while the blue building has two rooms to individually control. The industrial building is in the...

I mean, that is what I would say too if I was selling LEDs at the mark up that they have them at. Definitely paying for the convenience factor.

Check out these two posts of my playing....er......

I am using LED strip lights cut down into smaller sections to light the interiors of my buildings. The roll is designed to be cut down into sections with 3 LEDs per section, but I have been cutting...

Worked on adding lights to my town's buildings.
