The signal mast solders into the 4 large holes. Then I run a 40awg wire from each pin on the LED down to one of the 3 holes in the PCB to the...
A couple of updates to the BN Ottumwa Sub. I finished all the code 40 switches on the West end of the yard. I still need to ballast them....
The Yokohama Train museum was like #1 scale (or g-scale?). The also had an HO layout by the exit depicting Yokohama that looked like it was all...
MK, what an awesome thread. I got to go to Yokohoma in October for work. I wish I would have had more time to explore the rail system. We only...
That's my cheat sheet for the staging yard switch numbers. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] When I started, I built my own Arduino staging controller and...
I've been spending entirely too much time with JMRI. After fighting with my Digitrax PR3 for too many years I broke down and bought a DCS 240+....
I finally got BN 2337 and 3045 off my work bench. I put about 70 hours into the pair super detailing, painting, decalling and weathering them to...
I almost have BN 2337 (GP38-2) and 3045 (GP40-2) done. I spent way too much time on the fuel tanks and trucks and should have spent more time...

Now that I have a turntable I decided I should super detail a couple of grey engines and make them green. And my workbench is far from clean....

I finally got sick of the hole in the layout and decided in install the turn table. I had been concerned that I didn't have enough room between...
We have about 12 trains in staging with about half that have sound in the lead engine. We also have a geep in the yard with sound. Blowing the...
I absolutely love your Clearwater Bridge Tony. Very nicely done. I'm looking forward to more.
Not only did I not know Trainworx did a D&RGW caboose, I didn't know I replied to this thread in 2007. I was quite surprised to see my words....
Over the weekend I got the other signal built. It went much better than the first one. I had to pull the first one off the layout and found out...
Thanks! So there's at least as much under the layout as there is on top. The signal LEDs are driven from an i2c I/O expander based on an SX1509...
I moved a little east of the Mississippi bridge and decided to replace the cardboard HWY 34 overpass with styrene. I scratch built the bridge...
Well there is a 12mph speed limit across the bridge. I wouldn’t want to get written up.
