railnerd: Building the 3-way turnout
http://railnerd.blogspot.com/2015/02/building-3-way-turnout.html
Ramblings about model railroad technology. February 7, 2015. Building the 3-way turnout. A productive modeler once told me: "Try to work on your railroad every day, even if it is only for a few minutes.". Taking that to heart, I decided to embark on the something I had been putting off for a few months: building the 3-way switch for the China Basin ferry dock. I started with a set of paper FastTracks templates ( http:/ www.handlaidtrack.com/Fast-Tracks-Printable-Track-Templates-s/11.htm. Bay Area PCR/SIG...

Ramblings about model railroad technology. September 28, 2014. Added a quick coat of paint over the black primer to Robert's SLA phone booths:. Look forward to installing these line side next Friday. September 27, 2014. Got a chance to add a few more layers of weathering, touched up some of the metallic details, and took a couple of shots before packing it in for the night.

railnerd: More painting progress
http://railnerd.blogspot.com/2015/08/more-painting.html
Ramblings about model railroad technology. August 2, 2015. Was away from home for a bit, then came back to a very busy work week. Taking some "time off" from a project is often a good thing— it makes you appreciate hobby time even more. Today, I had a chance to test all those painting experiments from a few weeks ago on the apron:. I'm pretty happy so far, but have a LOT more to paint. Bay Area PCR/SIGs Meet Jan. 27-29.

railnerd: Weekend Update
http://railnerd.blogspot.com/2015/06/weekend-update.html
Ramblings about model railroad technology. June 29, 2015. Had some time over the weekend to continue working on the ferry dock. With all the turnouts built, it was now time to focus on the "easy" track. I've become quite fond of the FastTracks "plain old track" jig for making straight track— so it was time to try using it to make the straight section of the pier. I started by making a simple section, then adding my longer PCB ties to the newly constructed rigid track:. Robert's Vasona Branch Blog.

Modeling Steam Era Freight Cars: One Man's Roster*
http://steamerafreightcars.blogspot.com/2014/10/one-mans-roster.html
About The Steam Era Freightcars Blog. This blog discusses all aspects of North American freight cars of the steam era, from the dawn of railroading through 1960. It is intended to support the efforts of model railroaders who wish to produce the most prototypically accurate freight cars possible. The nature of blogging means the material can be "real time," and in-process models can be shared. These are not only welcomed, but appreciated as we all love to see a model develop over time. I plan to do someth...
