The construction sequence is made at the end when I'm putting it all away. Step by step photos are taken as I take parts away from the layout, and then reversed in the video editor. The idea was given...

My god, that looks like such a violent launch. Don't think I'd like to subject our precious Japanese rolling stock to this :)

Post: RE: Does Plarail have loops?

Post: Does Plarail have loops?

As seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_HlkcauwQ Are these just 'fake' Hot Wheels loops or actual track loops? Which trains would even go fast enough for this? This must be fake,...

That is awesome. I've had a plan in my head for a long time now, to design and print a shell for our local fast train, Hitachi-built BR Class 800/802. But I don't think I will ever go into that much d...

Non-motorised absolutely makes sense. Our youngest still prefers the pull-back trains because they're just easier for him to play with. As for the short carriage (and possibly shorter wheelbase), I...
