Frank Musick,

Don't run the wires around each level of the helix.  Instead, run up two or three posts and solder feeders in two or three spots around each level.  This will save you miles of wire.  Use zip ties to hold the wires to each post.

Dave Foxx

Never even occurred to me to try anything like that. Thanks Dave!

I finally got my a$$ working on the HCD layout again.   Having a great time going through a divorce right now, and finally got the layout located where I'm living.

in any case.. got some bridge abutment/stone work done.  :)   foam block, skimmed with plaster, then some carving...



I also took the kiddies along the route I used to chase on my bike as a kid.  It'll be a bike path by next year. 

last year:

Jake Evaul's. More have become open but some only open during the NMRA division meets, not up for general public. I'm lucky and a number I get to operate on as part of a rotating group. They feel bad for me since I'm in N scale.

Shame to see his layout going as well. I've had the opportunity to operate on John Rahenkamp's layout a few years ago, but had to stop attending due to school getting in the way. Great layout, and great ops scheme.
Hopefully once one of my fellow N-Trak members gets his layout up to show-able snuff in a couple years, there can be more preseNce here in SJ.

Nice! I've always had a soft spot for log cars.

Completed my 5 Kato U30C's in the Milwaukee Road. They all have grabs, all weather window, mirrors, etc.

I am very envious of these U30s. I will have to look at getting myself some base materials to start doing some of my own at some point.

It sounded like a good idea at the time... too bad the caboose wasn't in on the plan.

Steve, those U-boats look fantastic, especially a group of them!

Thanks guys. Now if only they would do the U33C and U36C's. Would need to do a few of those in Milwuakee Road paint too.  And U25C and U28C's so I can have some NP GE's running with them.

I'd certainly like some of the NP U25Cs and U28Cs, especially since they could be done with the same body and mechanism.  GE custom built the NP and CB&Q's first U28Cs as uprated U25s, so they look identical.

The U33C would also be useful for the NP, as well as the GN and BN, so I'll hope you get all three!

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
