Canadian Pacific North-Shore is a model railroad subdivision line that runs north along the Ottawa River. Connection points of this line are the Gatineau Yard and Sainte-Therese yards in Quebec. The single track main line has had it's hay-day and is now struggling to keep itself operational. A few large industry are keeping the line running such as the Redpath sugar refinery and the large furniture factory. Both are the major customers of the line, along with smaller customers like the Richland fuel depot and Beaver Lumber lumber yard. The line still runs older diesel engines and has not had much as far as major financial investment, which is why the engine shop along with older engines and some scenic items like the old abandoned water tower, and wooden bridge are seen along this line. Traffic has gotten lighter on the line but it still server it's customer. We hope the keep the line running.

Who'd ever think of using those model spurs that hold the parts of your kit as they come in the box? GREAT Idea! IF I may also add, I noticed how they go strait from and to either the wall or roof... How about putting the ends over the candle heating them up just enough to soften the butt ends in order to "Mushroom" them so it looks as though they are going into a flange or some kind of coupling... Just a tiny detail one could add. :)
definitely looks better than those Caboose switches but the red target doesn't really move enough to signify that the switch is in one direction or the other.
Beautiful layout. I really like the slow movements of the locos. I now see the "hand made" switch machines and really like them. I think I just might try them on my new layout. Always looking for inexpensive ways to make things. Also, it is hard for most young modelers to have to put out so much money for trains when they are just starting out. I worked with the local 4-H people on the trains and the biggest problem was cost.
Great work ! Very well explained & demonstrated. It will work out very cheap. I am pursuing my model train hobby with N scale. I will follow this and creat number of street lights for my layout. One I have made in on RU-vid : link : train outlay Gopal Daga. I will welcome your comment on this. Best wishes, Gopal Daga sarlagopal@gmail.com
Great idea never even thought of a scratch build track switch Hi I just saw this video. I'm new to modeling and it would really help me to see how you built the switch. Anyway to save a little money here or there. The money saved helps me so I could get other things I will need. You know what mean.. Thanks again for posting
Logic would dictate that the exposed brass tube receive the ground connection - why risk a short? I would recommend that you run the positive coated wire up the tube and use the tube as your ground connection. You might also mention how you managed to shield the lamp tack cap from both LED wires.
These LEDs run on low-voltage DC. There's no neutral or ground. I usually hook them up to a 3V "supply" from two AA batteries, so it's basically a flashlight. The leads aren't even going through the cap; the flange on the LED makes sure of that. Once it's done, the paint acts as an insulator in case the air gap fails somehow.
