Glad you were able to get another video up, congrats. It was great to see you filming again.
Now thats its after christmas and the gifts are opened and the kids are happy, I got a few ideas. I hate ideas because they always cost me money I dont have. Maybe thats why we dream a lot. Okay so I got myolest sone a railroad set. It is a basic oval set, hte kind you get as a kid and just enjoy the hell out of going in a circle, no the actual modeling type. I have to say it really brought back memories of sitting in the basement and running a train for hours. This gift sparked something in me that wants a basic 8 foot by 4 foot set up. What sucks is no money and two helicopters that need to fly soon or ill go nuts.
What I am thinking is getting the heli stuff sorted and in the mean time plan a setup that will allow me some winter fun. These railroad setups can take years to plan and build so what I think is I will start to plan something. I am not getting into the whole modeling thing. What I want is something that can be used just to play around with that is multi level, not more than 2 levels. I would like to have a switching yard or fiddle yard as it is known. Something where I can actively be involved with the set. At the same time I would like to be able to let it run while am just relaxing. My grand plan is maybe DCC with electric frog points that are motorized. One thing that interests me is the ability to program a raspberry pi or arduino to control the turnouts with motors.
Boy I have grand plans and no money at the moment.
