Gents,

Please check out my new blog at

http://cheapmrr.blogspot.com

It is dedicated to sharing ideas for lessening the cost of our hobby in these uncertain economic times. Mostly basic ways to save a buck on tools, materials or techniques. Also, where to find the best deals and alternatives to expensive products.

If you have any tips, ideas or products that you think might help others, please e-mail them to me at

mopacbuff@yahoo.com

I'll try to update the blog with as many ideas as I receive.

Thanks

MPB

I don't want to steal your spot w/announcing my Blog spot, but everytime I start a new project on my layout I give a complete breakdown on how it's done, the items I use & where to get them, shortcuts & a full photo breakdown & mine is all Free. My Blog addy is in my Signature.

Larry,

I checked out your blog. Very nice! Far more refined than mine, but I'm working on it.

FWIW, I've updated my blog with posts on obtaining cardstock for projects and making sectional track look better.

Still looking for ideas.

Looks good!

Make sure though when you're doing your thing with sectional that you leave a few ties intact, or you could throw it out of gauge.

MPB, nice blog and I appreciate the low cost ideas since my railroad is on a tight budget.
