So I picked up a couple of these at work for free. They are power supply units for CCTV Cameras. Generally pretty low voltage stuff. I figured I could use them as power distribution points for some of my switch machines or split up my track main buss into four different electrical blocks...

Fred.I love that proto87 stuff. So cool. I wish I had come across some of their stuff earlier when I started as I may have employed some of their products in my track laying. I like the throw bar set up that they have created. It looks very durable and very prototypical.

I should clarify, that is in HO scale. You can by commercially available jigs from Fast Tracks at www.handlaidtrack.com They are not cheap, however once you own the jig, and frog point filing tool you own it for life. However I built mine without the use of the jig, by using some simple...

Ditto. I'm intrigued by traction layouts. Makes me want to attempt it myself just to satisfy my own curiosity.

You can also build your own....if so inclined. ;-)

Hence the laughter at the end of my post. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to your "demo" work.

:needpics: sign1 Can't wait to see some of your work. Everything sounds as if its going well. :thumb:

This is going to be one of those hurts to watch threads...ooohhh...those poor models. LOL!!!

Hey do you think you could work a little faster! announce1 Just kidding! Honestly when I noticed you had started a new project thread I just about jumped for joy out of my seat! Yippee! sign1

I'm hardly one in a position to critique anything as I'm pretty new at this myself. I really like this scene though. It's coming along nicely Kevin. I am going to have to try out some of those trees myself. Just a little bit more depth and pow! I'd call it done. :thumb:

I'm having some issues uploading photos to Zealot so forgive me posting them on Photobucket instead. A quick update. I've been doing some re-tooling if you will. Trying to clean things up and fix mistakes I made or things that were just plain bugging the crap outta me! :rolleyes...

It doesn't even look like a steamer. Very cool!

No body likes a quitter Loren.... (ducks for cover...) Good for you bro! For a second I thought the thread title meant you were quitting MRR. That would have sucked. Yer, like, one of my fans! LOL!!!!

Steve, You could always solder a PCB tie to act as a throwbar for the points. That's how all my t.o.'s are constructed.

Just Awesome!

Awesome. Love the look you achieved with the old weathered wood siding.

That turned out really well. Congrats on a job well done. :thumb:

That looks pretty sweet so far Josh. :thumb: I still cannot believe that this is in your bedroom! sign1

You are leaps and bounds ahead of me in terms of expertise Wayne. I wouldn't even know where to start in terms of a rebuild like the one you are doing. I don't even own a brass loco, in fact such a purchase is no where near my "to do" list. Sounds like you have a solid plan with the spare...

Thanks Josh. The big rock(s) was placed there last year by by youngest daughter. It sits at the end of the yard lead. She put it there and said, "This will help to keep your trains from falling off the track Daddy." So there it sits. I cemented it in place with some smaller stones she also...
