Re-igniting a long dormant hobby!
November 2, 2021 This box had some non-HO stuff in it so not much to show this time. Miscellaneous two compartment plastic boxes that were originally food supplement containers More ancient Model Motoring controllers. These still have the original steering wheel knobs. Miscellaneous power cords. Miscellaneous car parts. https://youtu.be/6IHWP0xLUT0
November 2, 2021 Some miscellaneous controllers, guard rails, and my old mini control panel. I was pretty young when I built it. https://youtu.be/EuXHsnxxrdM

Just about two thirds done. This time I had ventilation, but I remember that because of the time of year... Continue Reading →
