    BigJake; So true for the most part. But things can get in the way.

    Right now I am testing and programming a number of the new Model Train Technology Nano Sensors. I am using my old T-Trak module as a test fixture which has been used a few times before for various experiments. Testing and programming these one at a time then will set up 5 and connect them to the yard control project I am working on.

    ATSF Blue Goose (hudson 4-6-4) A Robert Nunes shell on a Con-cor Streamlined Hudson mechanism. Finally got to get it together, needs detailing and paint. It's sitting a bit low at the back but it all fits!!!

    I agree. It seems the more I learn the more complex I make it.

    GRS short signal relay cabinets and a crossing relay box.
    All from Showcase Miniatures. Under extreme magnification one can read the GRS logo.

    Corn. Had I realized the effort it takes to model harvest-ready corn, I might have made other decisions for my layout. Here's kinda what it looks like after cutting the corn away from the mold, except the grown is the same bright color; and then after some painting. I have several hours into a 4" x 6" field of corn.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I feel your pain. I did the same on a T-Trak module, but I didn't get into the painting part as the module would be handled much more than a home layout.

    You definitely have me beat. I don't have the patience for that level of detail. Excellent work!

    Painting a Kato steeple cab switcher. It's red and black. Put on the gloss coat today. Wanted to do it as a Deutsche Bahn but haven't been able to find decals for that.
