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. I'm really happy with the way this is looking— next step will be detailing and adding the pilot house. September 15, 2014. The final...

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.

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. Because he kindly replied to my last post regarding my interest in learning more about OCS operations. 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 ...

I model the G&W Quebec Gatineau shortline railroad from Montreal to Quebec City. These are my adventures in the hobby. January 20, 2017. January 20, 2017. Like most modelers I seem to have an endless list of unfinished projects. And I am sure that this little project will occupy many frustrating hours. 2 Set up Command Stations and Boosters. Happily, Steve Juranics gave me a great deal on a used DB 150 Command Station. And I plan to hook this up to the DCS 51 – as either the command station or as a...
