In this episode, the hosts discuss the topic of rebuilding a model railroad. They explore reasons why someone might want to tear down and rebuild their layout, such as wanting to change the track plan, improve operation reliability, or create more realistic scenery. They emphasize the importance of planning and considering factors like locomotive size and track spacing. The hosts also encourage beginners to be open to the idea of rebuilding their first layout as they gain more experience and discover their preferences. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the process of rebuilding a model railroad layout. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the functionality and practicality of the layout, rather than getting caught up in external details. They also discuss the benefits of planning and visualizing the layout before laying down track, and the importance of not being afraid to restart or make changes. The speakers provide tips for salvaging track and turnouts during the rebuilding process, and stress the importance of patience and not rushing the process. They also mention the need to consider scale and standards when planning the layout, and the importance of seeking advice from experienced model railroaders. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the speaker's own layout and upcoming plans.

Back in the studio is a newly discovered AML talent with a resume that would impress any railfan, modeler or locomotive engineer in just about any generation. Mike May has been a railfan his whole life, a steam and diesel engineer for about half his life, the guy in charge of the “Polar Expess” Christmas extravaganza and now has decided to dip his toe into model railroad manufacturing. About ten years ago Mike began building my third layout, the White Pass & Yukon Route. The railroad is an unusual prototype which led to many challenges and solutions along the way. This turned into an idea to start offering high quality kits of prototypes that haven't been available for this unique railroad. Hopefully these kits can help others start modeling the WP&YR or find great freelance homes for them as well.

We're checking out a few samples we got last week including this totally adorable traffic light for architectural models. It has a common anode and three cathode wires, that make for easy control. The wires are super skinny but we poked em into a solderless breadboard to make this demo in Arduino. We also got a 6-pogo-pin clip that could be useful for programming boards that don't need a full jig. #stoplight #arduino #adafruit Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
