Literally decades ago one of my fellow club members gave out laminated card to show how to run our trains at a scale speed. Not rocket science. I still see trains at shows and videos where train are TOO FAST. Reminds me of Adams family.

Scale speed!

Good news?
Bad news?
Atlas has bought Microtrains. Atlas will move manufacturing to China.

Sigh.

Just did a search..maybe wrong words.. maybe bs users don’t… anyone doing scratch building anymore? Years ago lots of use did it… maybe as kits improved (like FSM) some went that way.. Now with 3D printing I feel better.🧐

Cnc been there done that.
Note: corners..
Diameter of the cutter even small never looks square.

Better corners. Lots of trial and error.

To the best of my knowledge… there are no Nscale Southern Railway train order boards. Murphy Branch was “dark” so each depot had train order boards. I made one using drawings and made a mold. I cast others in epoxy.So far no luck on automating.😭😭

Nscale bash.

A SRY Caboose.
Two ROCO cabooses becoming one.

SRY did not have end windows. Fill.
It did have grabs on end. Add.
Door windows were not correct. Fix.
Paint was removed.
Two halves will make a whole.

Much of the bench scrap wood. The base is lapped 2*4; it is sturdy. Designed for space under a portion of the layout.

I’ve made changes through the years. I built the tool holders, glue rack, the LED work light etc. even a hidden test track.
