Placing the upper cornerstones on the HO scale Indianapolis Traction Terminal. Still some work to do: modeling the upper Cornice, and making and placing 336 more windows

Can you do something fun for me?
Go watch one of my older videos and leave a comment about what you enjoyed most about it, please!

I realized some of my earliest videos have less than 1000 views, and I know a lot of you would enjoy watching the early ones as well! Thx.

56 years after the first 'Blue Goose' entered service on the electrified interurban railways connecting Sydney with the Blue Mountains and Gosford, the last in-service run of a 'V set' will be on January 30th.

And if I'm sharing Class A photos I might as well add one of the most impressive film photos I've ever seen- Otto Perry captured #3 at 100mph (160kph) in Oconomowoc, WI on August 5, 1937. This train was moving 150ft (45m) per second, and he nailed it!

My schedule said I had to return to Uppsala after riding three different trains and visiting three stations. I had time watch the diesel's run around move.

Got our two new N scale Reading RDCs (by @rapidotrainsinc) speed matched just right. These will be representing the Crusader and Wall Street trains as they looked in the 1960s & 70s, when the Reading switched out the trains pulled by FP7s with these RDCs. #modeltrains #dcc #modelrailroad #nscale

To be fair "Jay and I were scheming" here means "Jay half-assedly said that the Alta would need Jarritos tank cars after Miles notes they'd be an Alta customer" and then 5 minutes later this adorable sketch is made.
@bsquiklehausen.com and I were scheming and I drew up a glass bottle Jarritos soda tank car might look like, complete with bottle cap dome!

Worked more on our #uploadexpress modules this weekend! Most importantly we put together the modules and test ran some trains on them, including a pair of RDCs that were prototypical for this route. Good thing too since 2 of the turnouts needed to be replaced. #modeltrains #nscale #ttrak
