I've been talking about this convention and my operation for a while, but here we have Nevada Steam Spectacular, a celebration of 844's 80th birthday and the 160th anniversary of Nevada(my state), there will be operating passenger excursion sessions for each engine, including photo shoots. I plan to buy the Broadway Limited Reading 2102 in N Scale Stealth Mode, to operate a light engine run during the convention. I'm also planning to print out the schedules so people can use them whenever they want to see what time for each session. I'm excited about this because it'll be the first time that my layout and my engines are seen in public for the first time. If this is successful, I'm planning to do this again in 2025 with Reading 2102 and that engine's 80th anniversary. My photos by the way. Link to convention site: https://www.silveragecomiccon.com/

I am looking to buy a decoder for my E235 I have looked through multiple forums and not found a thing, does anybody know?

I just saw this intriguing set up of a temporary model train layout simulating the JR West Osaka Loop Line, set up at Osaka's Expo Commemoration Park (you can see the park's Tower of the Sun in the video). The user placed a camera in front of the model train to traverse the entire layout.

Hi All! (NOTE: various links in the post lead to my blog) A member on the forum recently said that my little re-do adventure might be of interest to some of you. I had a layout that was really humming along. Scenery, structures, and little scenes were in full swing. However, there were major items that were not working for me on the layout - a major one involved trains and operations, which I wasn't as interested in when I originally started. . After months of thought, I decided to tear the whole of it down and start over again. This was NOT an easy process! I had to have a large glass of whiskey before starting to pull stuff off my layout and pack it up! hehehe However, now that I have things the way I like on the train and track front, I'm SO MUCH HAPPIER! It's night and day. I'm moving forward on getting back to the point where I can get scenery and structures back on, but all in all it was well worth the effort to get things to a point where I'm no longer sad and disappointed when I run trains around the space. So, I suggest that you make an effort to be happy with your layout without settling for "well....it's fine, I guess". Make it something you really enjoy! Any other re-do stories out there?
