Building HO scale model railroads with DCC control and realistic scenery.
HO scale (1:87) is the most popular model railroad scale. It offers a great balance between detail and space requirements, making it perfect for home layouts.
I focus on realistic scenery and operations, creating miniature worlds that capture the essence of real railroading.
Digital Command Control (DCC) allows independent control of multiple locomotives on the same track. Each locomotive has its own decoder that responds to commands from the controller.
DCC also enables realistic sound effects, lighting control, and automated operations.
Model railroading combines many skills: carpentry for benchwork, electronics for wiring, artistry for scenery, and engineering for track planning. It's a hobby that never gets boring because there's always something new to learn or build.
Whether you're running trains or building scenery, model railroading offers a creative outlet that connects you to the rich history of American railroads.
