New product release!!

I have listed on the website a new item in both N and HO scales! I’ve designed a longer sectional railer tool. This version is super helpful with the bigger steam locomotives, longer rolling stock, and even articulated rolling stock sets!

Get yours today at https://designsbypnl.square.site/product/long-railer-n-scale-/3KRRDSV6T6N6T3CANGEDR47S?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=CILP4B2R6QBWSDXW7SVTOWVL or www.railroadcitytrains.com

I have a custom design being shipped out tomorrow. I was requested to make custom track bases for a random bracket kit to put a train into a Christmas Tree. I realized I could improve on the concept so I started to design my own brackets.

What I ended up with is a kit that mounts to a live tree and uses Kato R481 x 15 degree curved tracks. Once the kit is installed, the buyer will be sharing images.

I can’t wait to see it in a tree!!

It's getting to that time of year again, it's train season! We start to see more train shows and gatherings, and what could be a better time than now to get your parts gathered up for those new modules, or to improve your event layout!

The T-Trak alignment tool makes quick work of aligning the ends of your track. The top surface allows you to clamp the tools in place while glue sets or while you install a screw from the underside of the module. They will securely hold the track but will remove very easily. This will be one of the best tools you'll buy if you build T-Trak modules!

My splitter boxes are perfect for those that manage group T-Trak layouts or the individual who has a lot of Kato power feeds on their home layout. Kato no longer supplies these with a box anymore, so I have designed these boxes as a easy way to keep cables organized and identifiable. I have the colors listed per the T-Trak standards, but I can make them in any color you desire!

Also available, HO-Scale T-Trak and N-Scale N-Trak alignment tools. Similar to the N-Scale T-Trak tool, these allow quick setup and installation of your track according to the appropriate standards.

For those into the organization, I have single and double track hangers. These snap over the Kato Unijoiner just like any track section and will allow you to keep your loose track organized and out of the way! Keep it safe and protected!

I also have a ton of options for custom track bases to use with flex track (code 80) for those oddball sections where Kato just doesn't fit right. If you need something I don't have, just ask!

I've spent a LOT of time over the last few days preparing files, calculating pricing, creating listings, doing things over, changing things, you know how it goes! I still have to update the track base catalog that is listed on the site, that will come in the next few days.

I have added 291 track configurations to my store. Yes, 291! I still have 36 to do, I will get those in the next few days, but the biggest standard items have been listed. This doesn't count a few custom track items I have already designed!

If you're into model railroading, especially N Scale, this is absolutely for you! Go check it out!!

I’m going to switch things up a bit. I’ve always focused mainly on mechanical parts for laser engravers, well I’ve finally decided to start getting into my long lost hobby, and combined it with 3D printing.

I’ve been doing a LOT of design work this year on items for my N scale model railroad hobby. I’m pleased to put it here first, that I will be listing my first product series up on my website in the next few days!

I’ve designed a unique roadbed system that is both compatible with one of the major manufacturers in the industry, but also usable for flexible track. What does this mean? This means we are no longer limited by what is currently commercially available! I can provide that custom piece that you need, or even a complete set! I’ve designed many pieces for a future layout, that will be intermixed with the typical commercially available track.

I still have some supports to clean up on these, but I will be taking better images soon!

Here’s a little peek into the laser I have dubbed Mega-Ortur, it’s just massive! It’s burning away in a custom pen order for Mark Berton!
