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.

Oyster Car
Now that things are moving again, there is space to day dream about adding yet another project to the list. Gasp! Not another.....yes, another. But I promise there is more progress in the wings on a few fronts.
Colin King's post on the Friends of MRCS Facebook page gets the blame. The little nugget he posted from Wikipedia for Schools led me to do a bit more digging, which promptly turned up a set of articles in The Cannonball, the newsletter of the Sunrise Trail Division of the NMRA. The 2 part article series chronicles one modelers journey to building such a car. I feel a lot better about my random pursuits reading this set of articles, because the author's journey is nearly as long as my life. By those standards I'm at least on pace, or maybe even a speedy modeler. The two articles can be found here: http://www.sunrisetraildiv.com/ . The two issues are fall and winter 2014.
