The Art in the Details
As modelers, we pay attention to everyday life’s small details and oddities and try replicating those in our scenery.
The Electronics
This is an NCE DCC command system that will be running 3 Locos on a typical day. The outer loop is the main track power, and the inner loop is a reversing loop and will be fed from its own bus block.

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.
