September 10th, 1976. September 11, 2016. September 11, 2016. Yesterday I had the pleasure to be a guest operator on the Waterloo Region Model Railroad Club. I was invited by Chris van der Heide.

The club uses this method in its operations and he thought that it would be of interest to me to learn how they approach this. Thanks Chris! Peter at home in his dispatcher’s chair. Over the course of a 6 hour ...

Photo from RMweb. To bring back a few souvenirs of my stay. I walked out the door a hundred pounds and change lighter. Pounds as in GBP or , not my weight in pounds–I wish that losing the latter was as easy! The Dapol Kitmaster crane kit has been around for half a century or more, made originally by Airfix. It’...

Modelling a Canadian independent railway in October, 1956 in HO scale. January 1, 2017. January 1, 2017. First time with the Noch Gras-Master. It’s definitely a learning experience! The alligator clip from the applicator to the pin pushed into the scenery base completes the electrical circuit to make this work. Over the years, I’ve used dyed sawdust and ground foam to model grass on previous layouts. I never was terribly impressed with the realism of either or both together. 8221; Well, then…. On Christm...

While this story was about three turnouts, all were built in the same way. Here’s how I did it. With the rails for the straight route in place, it’s time to establish the diverging route through a turnout. The next rail laid will be that of the diverging route. Gives their standard turnout data for many model rail scales. Curve s...
