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.

railnerd: April 2015
http://railnerd.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Ramblings about model railroad technology. April 27, 2015. Crossover indication with DTL logic…. Someone asked if it was possible to create a circuit for indicator LEDs to properly show the crossover route if an only if the turnouts were both aligned using only the half of the DPDT contacts on the turnouts. Here's a quick Diode-Transistor logic circuit which would use jelly bean NPN transistors (2N2222) to create a simple logic gate for the crossing route:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

railnerd: November 2014
http://railnerd.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Ramblings about model railroad technology. November 30, 2014. It has been a while since the last post, so I thought I'd share an update on my China Basin project. A few weeks ago, I had a few hours to play with the Epilog laser cutter at TechShop. San Jose. My first attempts at laser cutting after a year or two away from the machine served as an opportunity to re-learn the practical limits of laser board on the heavily used machines. While the model was sturdy, it looked a bit too "beefy" for my taste...
