A mighty track plan site.

Oh Dear, a new Miniatur Wunderland Video

Just in time for Christmas...




There are moments in this video when you can be forgiven for thinking it was not a model.

And a life line from a guest author

After my last post a friend of mine shared his collection of Marklin track plans with me on DropBox to tide me over the move. Nothing like German Train Porn. Truly hard core.

Markus is now a guest author on my blog. Let's see what he's up to in Marklin HO. Are you building a model railroad? Let me know if you want to share!

The bags are packed...well sort of.

We're nearly ready to move out of our current place and into the new one (with the train room)! I've been contemplating making an a larger train layout now that I have my own space for it so I'll be scanning the web for ideas.

Most of my hobby stuff is now packed into shipping boxes so all my activities will have to be on-line. Just noticed a nice little Arduino board with built in Ethernet: Etherten

Apart from the model railroad, the new house will need a sprinkler system and I'm thinking of this as a candidate for driving it. After all, it's just a model railroad with water instead of trains surely?
