Another project completed….
As a viable alternative to Ron’s drinker’s guide to Germany, here’s another project that I actually finished today. You may recall, I was strengthening my N-mod loop and adding new, folding legs. Here’s the end result. The leg stays are … Continue reading

Stuttgart – 2022 #2
For the rest of the week, I’ll post some of Allan’s photos from the N-Club International meet at the Stuttgart Messe. It will be a bit of a photo dump, as I wasn’t there, and I may confuse a few … Continue reading
