New MTH loco and progress on our O scale layout. God Bless America
A sad weekend for our country and our prayers go out to those injured or killed. I was at my brothers for business and worked on the layout a little bit, but to be honest, the events in PA left me a little uninspired. I did manage to get a few things accomplished. Thanks for visiting with us. Godspeed to all.

The Lake Erie & Midwestern Railroad is a free-lanced O Scale model railroad that takes place over the last 50 years, or so. Set in the Midwest, between Chicago and Pittsburgh, the majority of action occurs in the triangle between Toledo, Cleveland and Columbus, OH. You can find modern fast freights with 6-axle GE and EMD diesels in consist as often as old Alco and Baldwin switchers shoving freight around the spurs to the various industries. It's a great hobby and we're excited to share the progress on the construction of our layout with you.

Just a quick update on the scrap metal facility I've been working on, as of late. I'd say about 40% of the basics are done. Once the overall project is roughed in, finer details will be added down the road, after other areas of the layout are completed. #oscale #mth #lionel #modeltrainlayout #modelrailroad SUBSCRIBE: ua-cam.com/channels/OyshSER0dod0n0QZUw_ggA.html Find our most current uploads ...

      Also, Horace - if you select 32 speed step mode, cruise is disabled and you will see more linear throttle response. If you have grades, you will get decreasing speed uphill and the opposite down, though.
