6.3.2025 18:32Comment on Coal Car Progress by secondsubThe cattails are now installed, turning the small pond between the pasture and the cattle spur into a marsh. I left a couple of feet near the culvert free of weeds, as I reckon the section man would have dug up that area to keep the culvert free. The pond is about 40 scale feet […]
5.3.2025 07:42Cattails Planted<!-- wp:paragraph --> Do you know the dimensions of the boxcars? Back in the day, some weren't even 7' IH. It's hard to judge from the photo, but those look on the small side. That may provide a helpful comparison with the gons. <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
3.3.2025 00:05Comment on Coal Car Progress by saltrails<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Based on the wheel diameter's as a relative measurement, I would say you are fairly close to correct. Maybe the white dots are Tack boards with fresh paper on them? Nice 3D, by the way</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
2.3.2025 23:19Comment on Coal Car Progress by JedFor one reason or another, I’ve been absent from the railroad room quite a bit these past few months. This makes progress on physical projects difficult, but virtual projects can continue. The coal car, which I’m almost ashamed to say has been on my desktop for a year, is nearing completion. In thirty years of […]

17.2.2025 05:38Comment on The Spike Extruder by Chris in Oz[…] to now, I have had two options for installing spikes – either the scale spikes from proto87.com, or my bent-plastic spikes. […]
17.2.2025 04:58Comment on Spike Options by The Spike Extruder – Pembroke:87Even a small layout like Pembroke has surprising number of ties, and each of those ties takes one to four spikes. That leads to an alarming number of spikes. Allow me to demonstrate with a little mental arithmetic. Pembroke is about 16 feet long, but most of it is two tracks wide. So it’s really […]
17.2.2025 04:58The Spike ExtruderThe stream that bisects the pasture gets sluggish and swampy before it passes under the tracks and continues down the ditch to tumble (somehow!) into the Muskrat River. The swamp will consist primarily of cattails or bulrushes – they’re too similar to tell the difference in HO scale. I’d already planted a number of them […]
14.2.2025 06:34Preparing CattailsFollowing last month’s experiment with the stupidly fine wire, I’ve gone on to refine the technique and produce enough wire fencing to keep any future cattle shipments enclosed long enough to get them aboard the stock cars. It’s still remarkably difficult to work with this material that I can barely see and that seems to […]
14.1.2025 07:05Cattle Pen FencingOne of the pieces that has been waiting on a bigger printer is a new back for my CVP wireless throttle. There was nothing wrong with the old back, except that it was attached to a throttle that would be found at some random place around the train room – kind of like the TV […]
6.1.2025 00:12Throttle BackIf you’ve got a third machine that can make stuff, you really need to get all three machines working at once. So, on New Year’s Day, I revved up the two 3D printers, printing parts for the upcoming steam throttle project. While they were happily layering away, I fired up the laser cutter to make […]
4.1.2025 03:37Three at OnceThis morning The Algorithm pushed Stephen Travers Art at me, and because it is New Year’s Day and I have nothing better to do, except consume the remaining Christmas treats, take down the tree, put away the decorations, and a million other things, I clicked through to the suggested video to learn something while I […]
1.1.2025 18:33The Effect of DetailWhen I first laid the track for Pembroke, I left the detail off until it was running the way I wanted. That day is getting near. There are a few persistent derailments, but I’m getting better and better at fixing them. So, the southern-most two turnouts are starting to get dolled up. In my previous […]
1.1.2025 01:47Frog JewelryThanks to Santa, a second 3D printer has joined the heavy shop. Why would anyone need two 3D printers, you might ask? You might ask the same of hammers, and yet I own a regular claw hammer, a tack hammer, a rubber mallet and a maul. Like hammers, different 3D printers have different uses. Resin […]
