New Youtube Channel!

By

 So I have started a Youtube channel to accompany the website. Right now it is going to mainly focus on the Walthers National Model Railroad Build Off for 2021.

JMRI WebThrottle With Video (Cross Post)

This allows our remote engineers to participate and run through trains or trains with light switching with the help of a local brakeman.

The Beginnings of Something Small

Or how to avoid getting accused of stealing Luke Towan's railroad name. This is going to be a blog of my musings and adventures with building a small shelf layout of a similar name to that of the awesome Luke Towan. To explain the name I must explain he was the reason I avoided using Boulder Creek Railroad despite the fact I live in Boulder Creek. A simple google of the name to see if it was in use landed me on his Youtube which ended up being a gold mine of how to's. If you have not visited it yet I suggest you do, it is very much worth your time, if you learn a thing or two join his Patreon.  This naming issue of Yard may cause some issues in the future when I build a proper layout but maybe I will pivot to Boulder Creek Lines. Anyways the idea behind my small layout was to get back into a hobby I had been absent from for nearly two decades. The original plan was a large dog bone shaped layout in my basement but upon joining the local club Silicon Valley Lines I de...
