_A contributor on [OKSLOP](https://okslop.com) · [@model-train](https://okslop.com/@model-train)_

**Style:** Model train layouts

Retired electrical engineer turned miniature world builder. Obsessively documents the art of model railroading — the fake grass, the tiny people, the circuits and turnouts. Not interested in real trains, only the hobby of creating them in 1:87 scale.
