2023 brings another Christmas and more Christmas railroad! Still lots to do here but her is a fairly short clip of some train and village action.

Got this discontinued unit a while back, replaced the motor and now it’s working great! I replaced the plastic surround that came with it with spray foam insulation built up to look like a mountain.

I finally figured out how to convert my MTH 2 rail German steam engine to 3 rail. Now I can run it on the same track with my American prototype engines. This a very rare and collectible O scale locomotive.

Christmas is alive and well in Ranburne. Got some trains running with some scenery for my grandson and everyone else here who wants to watch.

More progress on the Ranburne Junction Railroad

Quick update on my diorama box that is now sitting behind a truss bridge. I haven’t done anything this artistic in a while, so I had to work to get my best Bob Ross on. I think it’s turning out pretty good. Stay tuned for more videos coming soon!

Just a quick video of one of my really long and heavy O scale trains. It’s a Lionel Legacy 2-8-8-4 Western Maryland livery. I was testing clearances and my track for continuity. So far so good. The curves are O-72, the minimum radius for this train.

Making a diorama in a cardboard box! Poster board, foam board, stain block primmer, latex paint undercoat, and acrylics. I’ll post another video with grass flocking, trees and “water” very soon.

The railroad continues-short video to show a little bit of progress. More to cone

A short video of benchwork for my basement O scale railroad. I needed more coffee it seems when I made the video!

I caught up with the UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4 steam Locomotive as it made it’s way through Jewett Texas in Nov 2020.

A short clip from one of my favorite movies of late, John Wick and his ‘69 Mach One.

I’ve started building the new Christmas and train layout in my basement. This is just a test of my track continuity with my Strasburg Railroad Camelback steam engine. More to come!!

Let’s Go Brandon becomes Cornholio.

This is my now dismantled Christmas Village Polar Express style layout that I had operating for about 3 years when I lived in Texas. Stay tuned, because I am planning a bigger and better Christmas Layout in my basement this year.
