Hello everyone After over three years and almost 40,000 hits [for which I thank all of you for] I am closing down my website. So if there is anything you want to keep [especially the links] then go get them now and save them for your self. The only thing I ask is that if you use my articles or...

I have installed a tsunami decoder on to my On30 Bachman shay and video taped the whole thing. I have not found anything like this anyplace so I decided to share this with everyone so that you to can instal a decoder as well. I hope that you find this helpful. I am not a pro so please don't...

I am currently uploading some videos of how I make stub switches. I hope someone finds them useful :)

I finally figured out how to instal the decoder on my own BUT now I can not change the address from the default 03. I emailed digitrax and they said [and I quote]: "You cannot change the address of a Tsunami with the DCS100/200 without Soundtraxx's Program booster". So I am screwed here. And...

A little while ago this steam engine came near to where I lived and I took some so so videos of it. It is small at first but gets bigger about half way through it. I took it with a camera so the video is not that great but still it is a live steam engine. I hope you enjoy it a lot. On the main...

I have made a simple video on how I lay down my ties. I hope this is helpful to you. :) I am trying to make a complete "how to"on handlaying track for people who don't know how but want to learn it. :) I am using a simple camera that has video capabilities. The video is shot at 15 frames...

I have been asked about the track gauges I make for myself often enough that I decided to make a video of them for you guys. I used my camera to do this so the video is only so-so. The link to the video is on my website. Scroll down to todays date of "Wednesday October 15th 2008"...

I have been busy making a coal tower, water tower, sandhouse and of course the trestle. I am waiting for parts for most of these things, however I do have most of the coal tower done and so I thought I would let you guys have a look at it. The back part [the coal lift] is not done yet but the...

I finally broke down and bought a cheap [really cheap, 8 bucks] air brush. I am now looking into getting a very quiet compressor if one exists. It only needs to be between 15 and 35 PSI. I know nothing about this so all help is appreciated. Thanks for all your help ahead of time. :)

Well it has been a while but I have finally completed redoing my website. Sorry to take so long but I was out of the loop for two months because of a computer problem. It took a while to get the money to fix it. Anyhow, it is now done. It is easier to read for us 'older' folk. Also ALL of the...

I just found out that Zellers, here in Vancouver anyhow, is selling a rotary tool with some extras for $14. It will not be high powered but it will do the job. I have a dremel and a cheap one. The cheap one will bog down a bit when pressured, but for small jobs it is great. I don't know if...
