Then, also, with any luck, we'll have new lights in the basement, so visitors can actually SEE the railroad. Lots of new and interesting projects on the horizon! Now if I can just get some done enough to take photos, this will be a much more interesting blog to follow. In any case, stay tuned! Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Slate Creek Railway. The Making of the Stories, Equipment, and Operations of a 1:20.3 scale Basement Railroad. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. It's been quite a ride, as you can see in all of the previous posts, from delivery, to teardown, to sandwiching all that gear under the hood, to trying to get everything to function, this little engine has turned into a BIG project. But, even with the external detail changes being somewhat small, the difference is noteworthy, I think:. A) Removed factory electronics,...

The Slate Creek Railway. The Making of the Stories, Equipment, and Operations of a 1:20.3 scale Basement Railroad. Wednesday, March 6, 2013. There Be Steam Here! Well, it's not much of an update, and it unfortunately shows the "boy have we got a long way to go" part of the layout more than anything else . but hey, we *do* have a steam engine in working order, so it seemed a propos to put up a video of it working. So, without further ado, here's Slate Creek Railway #9 on its first full test run .

The Slate Creek Railway. The Making of the Stories, Equipment, and Operations of a 1:20.3 scale Basement Railroad. Wednesday, April 7, 2010. A Good Week's Work. After all this time, I guess it's time to write SOMETHING here. It's not the rollout of anything huge, and no photos of the layout yet, but it's been a productive week at last on the Slate Creek. Until then, this is primarily a solo act, and subject to interruption. In other news, I've been working for several years with some good friends on a pr...

For the first time in a long time there's some news on the layout itself. The wiring for the new lights is up, and the frames to hold the scenery are installed from the north tunnel portal, past midway, and nearly all the way to the bridge! Of course, you have to think a little fourth-dimensionally to understand where these places are.). Monday, October 12, 2009.
