Modelling and railfanning CP operations in the west end of Canada's largest city. Friday, 24 April 2015. YouTuber NS Train fan is selling his layout. Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a post about 5 MR YouTubers I liked. To this date it remains one of this blog's most viewed posts (List stories, known as listicles, have become a staple of online journalism because the restive online audience just can't seem to resist them). Anyway on my top 5 list was YouTuber NS Train fan. His price is $500, which incl...

Modelling and railfanning CP operations in the west end of Canada's largest city. Monday, 27 October 2014. Here a trackmobile is coupled to a covered hopper. I was in the neighbourhood over the weekend and using a long lens from a parking lot was able to snap some pictures of rolling stock on the spurs at Korex. I wrote about modelling this industry in this post. Some of the research about the industry I put here. Detail shot of a short hopper on one of the tracks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Video of th...

WestTorontoJunction: March 2014

http://westtorontojunction.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Modelling and railfanning CP operations in the west end of Canada's largest city. Sunday, 23 March 2014. The fascia has given my in-progess layout a more finished look. The paint cost $5 from the return shelf at my local paint store. With this winter refusing to fully retreat, I’ve managed to get quite a bit done on the layout this March. Here’s an update. I must have read it dozens of times: layout builders impressed by what a big step forward the layout takes visually after the fascia is installed.

Modelling and railfanning CP operations in the west end of Canada's largest city. Saturday, 7 February 2015. Cool video of the SoundTraxx Soundcar. No time for a layout update this weekend, but here's a cool video demonstrating the SoundTraxx SoundCar decoder. From this video, it looks like a few of these would add a lot of atmosphere to any layout. I really like the flange squeal sound. Thanks to YouTuber TManN. For posting this video.
