A lot to say goodby to

Whew....a lot of work here. Sad to see it having to go.....

We're getting out of the Bay Area and moving up to Sacramento around the end of July. I'll be taking all of this and boxing it up for the move.

Whew.....

N•RAIL DEEP DIVE: Kitbashed Buildings On My Layout

I'm trying out a little "deep dive" video series for various aspects of my layout. The first one covers some of the buildings and structures I've pieced together. I keep getting little notes and requests for more information and thought this might be a good way to handle it.

Let me know if there are items you'd be interested in my focusing on in the future!

March Train Layout Update Video Action

A long video update for March 2019!

Vending Kitbash and Hobby Fun

I've been sitting on this post for a long while. I just have not felt like writing about the hobby lately. If I have the time, I want to actually DO things! hehehe

So, I'm going to keep this REALLY lite and make it more about the photos that chatting.


KATO Platform Kitbash
A little diner place on an old platform.

Vending Machine Kitbash
I plan on doing more of these little kitbash projects in the future. It was a lot of fun.

Based on places like these....

Styrene base and card stock roof and sides. Vending machines are paper craft from Sankei.

Outland Models Railway Modern 5-Story Commercial Building Unpainted N Scale

 I snagged another model from Outland Models. Their buildings are super solid and actually go together for the most part without glue due to their peg system. Of course, I had to build out all the floors with people...that you can't really even see. heheheheh

I wanted to add some color to the building, so I sprayed the piece for the front.

Signage and people outside made it pop.

In place....

And....just some shots. :) 

GUNDAM!

New signs in Shizuka

Thanks for reading! <><>

NRAIL - Scenes with sounds

I thought it would be a fun little project to add sounds to shots of my layout. I want to thank Rutger Muller for the sounds. They were fantastic.

It breathed a lot of life into the scenes, though I'm sure some of what is being said won't match up properly with what's being seen! hehehehe
