Chronology of America’s Freight Railroads
In an era of interstate highways and quick air travel, it is difficult to imagine just how isolated those parts of the United States farthest from the oceans were, even as late as the mid-19th century.
The Benchwork Phase 1
Upgrading from a tabletop to a full room.
Benchwork for the Mountain Pass
When on a Colorado Mountain ridge, you can see three or four mountain ranges in the distance!
Full-sized Track Plan on Foam
In pursuing a better way to get my track plan from paper to benchwork, I ran across videos where modelers glued prints directly to the benchwork.
5.5% Grade, testing pulling power!
In pursuing a better way to get my track plan from paper to benchwork, I ran across videos where modelers glued prints directly to the benchwork.
The Switching Puzzle
I started by creating a track plan that balances real operations and space efficiency using T-Trak Modules from CRM Products.
Projects need a place to be built!
Builing MRR projects needs a great workbench, one that comfortably "fit" in any workspace, whether in a garage or workshop.
Online MRR Fast Clock
A Fast Clock is a specialized timing system used to simulate specific passage of time ensuring realistic train operations and scheduling within a compressed session.
MRR Speedometer (Arduino)
Using a speedometer in model railroading helps ensure realistic train operation by measuring the scale speed of locomotives.
Modular Shelf Benchwork
My workbench needed to be a very well-built workbench and more than just a table—a foundation for productivity, precision, and creativity.
