If time is money, Then I would spend all of mine with you, And consider myself a richer man.

Another Piece of the Puzzle

July 26, 2014March 16, 2013 by Michael Carnell

OK, so another piece of the control puzzle may be falling into place. I purchased two small 5v relays off eBay. These should allow me to use the outgoing signals from the Raspberry Pi to control things like power to switches, signals or other on-off devices. Since the relays totally isolate the Pi from whatever is being … Read more

Cars, Locos and Extras for the EuroNook

July 26, 2014February 25, 2013 by Michael Carnell

Here are some of the items I have gotten to go on the EuroNook layout that is still in progress. First we have the little German loco and six cars. All of these are in European N-Scale. Yes, I know there is a mixture of timeframes depicted, but ha! It is my railroad and I don’t care. The era for what I am building is probably 1990s or so, but I am really not worrying to much about it. In the case of this layout I am just out to get something done and have a little fun.

Next are two cars that probably won’t go on this layout, but you never know. The top one is PECO so not only English, not Continental European, but because of that alo a bit off in scale. The second one is a little too early – even for my make believe layout! But, it might end up there anyway. Maybe a rail-fan excursion?
