Model railroading is a way of life. I love all aspects of the hobby whether it's in N, HOe, HOm, HO, ON30 or O. I'm game for 3d printing, airbrushing, machining, laser cutting, soldering track and any other method out there. I've been moving a lot lately, which has resulted in a lot of building, dismantling, and rebuilding. I will share as much as I can as I reconstitute my railways. You never know what you'll find, maybe something cool will pop up.

Virgin Church 02
Here is the Virgin Church under way as a CAD file. The drawings for these models are quite simple, especially compared to those I might make for a construction project. That said, even on "1:1 projects" I endeavor to make drawings as simple as possible, and suited to their purpose. As someone who learned how to draw when drawing meant drafting with pencils on a drawing board, I maintain a sense of the purpose and scale of the ultimate output--combining such an efficient approach with the facility of CAD allows one to work very fast. All of this is changing once again, as modelling and simulation supplant drafting....but that is another story. I have the pleasure, fortunately, of being in that hinge generation that left school drawing with pencils, and entered the workforce using computers.
