M&M Rails - Invidious

My GOAL is to entertain you. If you learn something, bonus!

Mark and Mike Rails started many years ago, in an age before YouTube and social media. He and I would spend Friday nights building our U shaped HO scale layout that took over most of our parents' basement. It was DC, with a working turntable, numerous electric switches, lighted buildings and a sweet cemetery scene. Running trains with my brother was a ton of fun and it's the only time we didn't fight.

Mike joined a band, Jimmy quit and Jody got married. Skip ahead 20 years and I resurrected part of the layout in early 2016 thanks to my loving wife. You can find videos about my 4x8 DC layout in the playlists. How-to videos on building, wiring, turntabling and lighting a DC layout.

Now, my wife and I live in a small apartment and I have a DCC layout with 2 loops and a small yard. Come along with me as I journey into this new and fun system of model trains. This hobby is living proof that you can have your cake and eat it too.
