Dan D. Sparks: Ringing In The New Year!
http://dan-d-sparks.blogspot.com/2014/12/ringing-in-new-year.html
Read the Free Trolleyville Times Monthly for the Latest News on Prototype and Model Traction! Monday, December 29, 2014. Ringing In The New Year! Because A Good Traction Layout Should Have A Conductors Bell. As you may or may not remember. And so I have decided to resume work on it. A length of leather cord was procured from the local fabric store to use as the pull cord. Brass eye-bolts installed to support it and its tied off at the end with an authentic bowline knot (Boy Scouting paying off there).

A bit of a diversion, how good does it feel to build one of these type of models again! Its been years for me! The idea is to butt two of these "Schultz Garage" by Woodland Scenics models together to build a larger building. This beefs up the wall and adds some more detail to the building. And they were cemented into p...

Read the Free Trolleyville Times Monthly for the Latest News on Prototype and Model Traction! Monday, October 22, 2007. Display Case Gone Wild! It all started off innocently enough. I needed to solve a problem. I need to keep the dang cats off of the layout. They’ve caused irreparable damage to the delicate overhead which means tearing it all out and rebuilding it.
