The Retirement railroad is my page to share my renewed 55 yrs plus love for model trains. I model the CB&Q in HO in the western suburbs of Chicago where I grew up. I am retired and now live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida in the USA. My videos tend to be more about "how NOT to...and ways to fix it".
By the way. I do not do "Prototypical". Instead, I do "Proto representative". What's the difference? Proto representative is NOT attempting to match reality. Instead, it attempts to give the viewer a simplified sense of, or feel for, the area(s) depicted.
@@tanzj Yes, I have and it works great for the pad printing. No effect on the base layers which are most likely an oil based paint. All becomes clear in the video which airs on Wednesday.
I use my motorman at trainshows to do the lights and horn signals, 2 for forward and 3 short for reverse. Speaking of trainshow, Central Arkansas is the 24th & 25th this month in Conway. 😃 - Jason
I just finished the HO scale Atlas lumber yard & office. I have a mini table saw and I made all my lumber by cutting up small pieces of boards. I also cut up craft sticks into scale lumber as well. That little shed holds a lot of scale lumber. I also scratch built a lumber & drying shed that will supplement my lumber yard. It also holds a lot of scale lumber so I'm glad I got the mini saw from Micro Mart. I love scratch building and building rolling stock kits from Tichy Train Group as they have models from the turn of the century which I model I also just finished scratch building an O scale old wooden barn which came out really nice.

Thank you so much Lynn for the shoutout. It was nice to see you. Saturday are nuts and I am always running around but it is a good thing. And yes, I need to get back doing a video or two and that is something I will be working on pretty soon. Stay tuned!!! Happy Model Railroading guys!
@stevechilders2425 I had my first set of epidural lumbar steroids injections in my spine. Very sore and massive headache. And I can not take anything for 24 hours. Go back in two weeks for the second one.
Missed the live or prerecorded live. Getting things ready to leave and this time tomorrow, hope to be flying to New Orleans. Will try to watch via cell ph Friday, but no promise.
