Beginning another layout this time in S scale.

A freelance design that could almost anywhere. Its going to be close to a 6 footer’s eye height. So it will be more like rail fanning than those waist height layouts.

This layout will have dead frogs. Fewer shorts and less wire to run.

Anything smaller that HO is too small to consider. Especially too small for dead rail.

Master of some. Pretty good at IT; hardware and software. Know a thing or two about railroads; model and prototype, build model railroads for hire, build turnouts and track in HO and S scales. Decoder installs in HO and larger. Control system consultant and intergrader. Music: play guitar and keyboards. Have tools and knowledge required to tune acoustic pianos. Luthier; build and modify electric guitars. Yet to try my hand at acoustic guitar other than playing and restringing as needed.


I have a lot of turnouts

to build. I don’t presently have a contract to build any. I do have a home layout that I’ve been dreaming about. But nothing pressing at the moment. Built a turnout last night. Built one today and started on a another. After that half I’ll only have four more right hand turnouts to build and ten left hand S scale code 83 #5s to build.

Irregardless if anyone is interested I have more than ten each left and right HO code 55 standard gauge turnouts that could use a good home. There were intended to populate the layout that I was building before I decided to switch to S scale.

Have tools to build the following turnouts: HO code 55 #5 standard gauge straight turnouts and crossovers, HO code 70 #8 standard gauge straight turnouts and crossovers, HO code 83 #6 & #8 standard gauge straight turnouts and crossovers, S code 83, #5, #6, #8 standard gauge, straight turnouts. Hopefully by April also S code 83 #7 standard gauge straight turnouts and HO code 83 #5 crossovers.

(Some custom tools are much more than I care to pay. I really would like a cnc router and laser etch machine.)
