Back in 1991 Allen Keller Productions came to our house for several days and shot video of my model railroad layout. They then produced an hour long video about my layout called Great Model Railroads #9. Even though it's my layout I don't have rights to the video, so I've never been able to share it. But the video shows up on YouTube not long ago that Allen Keller posted himself. So now I can share it. Remember this was a long time ago and somethings (my age) have changed. 😉

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. But today I received some photos from a modeler (Chad T.) that used our HO scale grain bins to make these really cool looking structures. So I thought I would share them. In one of the photos it shows the bin being erected, which is how they do it. They jack it up and install the next ring on the bottom. Chad scratch built the yellow jacks. Awesome job Chad!

In Louisville KY today. Walked the Big 4 bridge to Indiana and back. Interesting RR bridge.

The new Arburg 270s is up and running HO scale grain bin parts. This is a huge advancement from the old Jacos. Still have to add vacuum loader and color feeder to it. Once testing is done an operator will be stationed next to the machine to clip and box up the parts as they are produced.

New Arburg 270 has arrived. This machine will be replacing our older Jaco machines that we use to produce many of our model railroad products. The old Jaco's were built in the early 70's and have served us well but they have seen better days. There's no parts available for them anymore and their days are numbered so it's time for them to be replaced. It's the end of an era since the Jaco's were my very first injection molding machines I purchased in 1995 when I went full time and starting doing all of our molding in house. But I'm sure when the new Arburg is fired up and running part with it's computer controlled electronics and touch screen monitor, I'll quick forget how I ever got along without it. 🙂

Say good bye to my retaining wall. This is the second time this has happened and I have a sign that say's No Left Turn. The driver backed back in and reported it to Averitt. Oh well.
