Valverde Feed Store Circa 1952
It’s 1952, and Anita comes across the street after visiting the Valverde Feed Store.
Design Transfer
Getting a track plan onto the layout sub-roadbed has always been challenging. This time I tried a different method:
The Benchwork
I created a “box” that allowed a 34×60 by 2″ foam to sit inside. While eventually it will be glued down, right now it’s removable.
WCRR Buys Land to Expand
Upgrading from a tabletop to a full room.
Plan-B: Proper Benchwork & Elevations
Yes, this is a different bench I am building. I ran into many “challenges” by using an old desk for the foundation, and removing that old desk made life much easier!
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.
