Welcome to my little corner in cyberspace, home to a collection of websites I've been building since 1996. Please pull up a chair and sit a spell, especially if you like model trains, as there are thousands of pages to explore here—literally.
Model Railroading Websites
- All About Postage Stamp Trains is the definitive guide to a memorable old brand.
- The Birth of N Scale details the formative years of the model railroading scale.
- David's Modeling Journey chronicles my fifty-plus years in the hobby.
- N Scale Figures Database is for those interested in 1:160 model people.
Other Ephemera
- The Avengers Forever is about the cult British 60s TV series, not the superheroes.
- David Builds a Home follows my dream and provides context for my remarks below.
Today at Grump Central
Monday, 21 January 2019. The rain ended soon enough that the Big Chill didn't cause major havoc—in fact it was sunny in the afternoon. Meanwhile, I've heard from my sheetrock contractor, and I've arranged to have him do all of the ceilings (my helper and I will do the walls). So, the first rock will be going up sometime very soon. I'm psyched, especially since this will allow me to install a lot of lighting. Meanwhile, I've got a little corrective work to be done in the kitchen...
Also, I must convey a very special thank you to all of the people who have responded so far to my GoFundMe campaign, as it has now generated enough revenue to make a significant difference: I've decided to use the first round of contributions to help me finish the bathroom—a critical aspect of any home, to be sure! I'm on my way to making the home habitable.

Owing to circumstances beyond my control, I won't be able to finish my home without some assistance. Thank you!
