Blackstone Models HOn3 Demonstrator Layout/Show Module
Best $75 at Goodwill I've ever spent :)
No idea what the full history of this small layout is but it was found at the local Goodwill in a shipping crate, with a Sountraxx shipping label stuck on the lid if the purple trim it features wasn't enough. How it ended up out of their hands or in the store to begin with must be a fascinating story. Featured in the video are pieces of Blackstone, brass, or kit-built models I own and some visiting equipment from friends. It's in mostly good shape, I had to fix a lot of broken scenery and figure out how the thing was wired/replace the NCE board. Some of the scenery on the edge of the two modules are a little damaged or warn but otherwise, it's pretty nice. If you've seen this before or have any more info feel free to contact me or leave a comment.

Both converted to Airwire radio control, however mine has a Soundtraxx Tsunami2 Decoder, and the other has TCS-Wowsound. While I've been sold on Soundtraxx products for a long time, It was neat to compare the TCS bo...

Here's a flashback to August 2020, when Trains Magazine hosted a special photoshoot with recently restored RGS 20. This was a video I initially pumped out for youtube shortly after filming the event, but I wasn't happy with a number of different things with it so I decided to make a new one featuring more info and corrections, plus some other aspects of the video that put me off previously.
