Hi all, here's video from the East Coast HO Exhibitors Society monthly running meet in Cutler Bay, FL, including a video runby of a stacktrain (all compiled at the end of the day lol).

Enjoy!
It's about time this Miamian would visit Lance's layout of the Downtown Spur. A conference trip to DC allowed for just that!
Thanks a lot to him for taking time from his schedule to show me around.

Hi friends,
I wanted to post an update on a locomotive of mine that I acquired several years ago, and also ask about how I could make a certain repair/replacement.
I purchased a GP39-2 from Warrick's (Now Maniac's Hobby) in 2011 for what was to be a CSX switching layout. The layout never came...

Thanks Mal!!
Always been a fan of your switching layouts. I have to check this one out. Was out of the MRR loop for a while until recently, so I have some catching up to do... From that pic it looks awesome!
I'm going to probably only make good on half of the plan that I posted anyway, until...

The issue was resolved, the wheels were on too tight, plus I think a tight radius was attempted previously.
