Backdrop, Deckwork, Lights & Fan
Adding the backdrop, finishing the deck work, adding dimmable lights, and removing the strobe effect from the fan.
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!

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.
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.
