I have been working on the roadbed for my layout. I setup a camera to record my progress. You can follow along on YouTube.
Continuing roadbed work on the TERMINAL Railroad
Laying Out the Track Loops and Installing the Cork Roadbed
I finally had a few good days and was able to install the loops and apply the cork roadbed. It turned out great. The video fish-eyes a bit and the lighting was bad, sorry ’bout that. Not a How-To video, but I hope you enjoy watching me get a bit of work done on the…
Modeling a Stargate as a virtual interchange.
If you have been following along, you know that I am modeling a railroad that exists in an alternate dystopian future. As such, my layout doesn’t exist in present or past current reality.

Canadian National / Ontario Southern Railway
A good friend of mine models a railroad he calls the Canadian National – Ontario Southern Railroad. I made this short video or his layout a few years back. I hope you enjoy it.

Soylent Biscuit Co. unloads the H.R. from the White Trains and makes tasty biscuits. Some of the biscuits are loaded onto boxcarssent to Terminal Yard for…
Modifying the TERMINAL Logo specifically for the White Train and Pantex Carousel.

Since I modeled the TERMINAL Logo after the classic fallout shelter sign, I figured I would hold with that tradition…
My Old HO Scale Layout
The Importance of Planning
It is very important for me to be able to run whatever rolling stock, or locomotive I want. Any equipment from any era from any prototype from any manufacturer from any country…anything that I want for whatever reason. This is a big reason why I have set my layout in an alternate future. Who’s to…
