This site is for modelers who are curious about P48 and prototype modeling. The layout featured here is my own Indiana & Whitewater, a two foot wide by 24 foot long shelf style layout built to P48 standards. My first book Pieces of The Puzzle, tells the story of the decision process for the designing the layout. Additionally, there are two free e-books available for downloading that cover the techniques used to lay the track (see the links in the sidebar to the left).
My goal with this site is to take away the mystery that
often surrounds P48 modeling and to show what O Scale
has to offer in the 21st Century. To that end, I've added
some new pages showing a boxcar project I'm working on.
Click the link here, or look under the "New Projects" tab in
the tool bar up top.
Enjoy the site.

Look for details about the new book, Detailing Track, on the site in the near future. Thanks for hanging in with me, and thank you to all who have downloaded the two e-books. To date there have been over 1500 downloads.

Checking the stats from my web host, I noticed the
contact page had a number of hits. I you have tried to
contact me via this form, and I haven't responded, it's
because I have not received that mail. I admit to being
technically ignorant in these matters and may be
misinterpreting the stats. Hang in with me as I try to figure
it out.
