Due to new Products Policies, I am no longer able to offer my Two-Dimensional Flatback Kits on Etsy because they include magnets. If you want one of these kits, please feel free to contact me through Facebook or the Ironwood Rails website, and I'll arrange a purchase.

Unfortunately my health is still poor and I’m not able to join the festivities, however you can still see my table set up on the stage and I’m offering free shipping through my Etsy shop for the next two weeks.

Project Spotlight: Bringing Detail to the Rails

There’s nothing quite like seeing a massive layout come together! We recently heard from one of our clients who is making incredible progress on his 18’x26’ island layout, and we couldn't wait to share a "behind-the-scenes" look.

Check out these progress shots of his Loop 5—an 11” raised girder loop featuring custom laser-cut girder sides by Ironwood Rails. 🛠️

The Layout at a Glance:

Massive Scale:5 independent loops running simultaneously.
The Tech: His goals are for it to be powered by Lionel’s ZW-L and MTH’s Z4000 transformers, utilizing both Legacy-2 and DCS systems.
The Custom Touch: For the raised loop, he’s using Atlas O track paired with our custom laser-cut girder sides for maximum accuracy and a professional finish.

 "The laser cut girder sides are working out beautifully! I have 5 large sections that are going together... things are progressing nicely!"

As our client noted, a project this size takes "lots of clamps and tape," but the results speak for themselves. We are so proud to provide the precision-cut components that help builders bridge the gap between "in-progress" and "masterpiece."

We can’t wait to see these girders once they hit the painting stage! 🎨

Our client is currently in the 'clamps and tape' stage of his girder loop. 🛠️ What stage is your current project in? Drop a photo in the comments!

Thinking about adding custom structural detail to your layout? Send us a message and let’s get your project on the right track!

The start of the year has been less than productive due to illness. I keep hoping things will turn around as I have many exciting plans and new products I want to create and introduce this year.

Two Down, Many to Go

May 5, 2024

Life takes many twists and turns down the track of life. Sometimes, we are derailed for a time or sidelined to destinations unknown. I have discovered that where I thought I was going and where I am today are two separate tracks that parallel each other and have entirely different views.

My Decent into Train Model Madness

January 29, 2024

My descent into railroad madness started when I decided to create a train tunnel for my father’s G-scale indoor train set as a Christmas gift. I planned to incorporate two laser-engraved portals I had designed and create a waterfall feature. I clearly needed to learn better techniques as I stumbled down the track.
