Two kit boxes sat, waiting to be opened. Today I opened those boxes and decided to unpack the contents of each and put them together to make more rolling stock. They were slightly different 40' flatcar kits. HO scale and highly detailed, they were both Tichy products. The cars differed in that...

Hi All, First, a night shot of the Loud Dam and Au Sable Water and Power in place on my layout addition. Next, a light-leak solution that was pretty quick and easy. It's not perfect, but it really helps cut down on unwanted light rays coming from under structures. These houses are HO...

Hi Guys, I'm planning new construction on my shelf layout. Right now it is a point to point shelf layout with a peninsula. I'd like to add a loop on an "upper" level. If I can pull this off, I'll have more track elevated on hills and bridges, with the original track going into tunnels and...

Hi guys, What is the best way to glass these. I hate the clouded panes that come with the tichy windows. Also, any color suggestions?

Hi guys, I made a little shed, and for the first time, I used a Cad program called sketch-up to design the plans. I devote 10 pages to this project on my blog. Hopefully, lessons learned on this shed will make the upcoming cabins better. Read all about it by clicking here...

Hi All, The United States Postal Service has really turned me off, so I'm looking for alternatives to shipping packages. Let me tell you what happened. First, the USPS Click-and-Ship website is buggy. Three times in the last few months my mailing labels have failed to print. When this...

Greetings, I have two (actually three) unconnected things I'd like to share with the group. First, has anyone seen my scratchbuilt covered bridge? Second, my mom gave me this nice curio. She says she needs the room and so she willed it to me out of the blue. I was...
