More than a few times I've been asked by modelers to do a clinic on modeling tools, and so I've been planning to write one for a couple of years now, but in the grand scheme of things it's been kind of low on the priority list, to be perfectly honest. However, I've recently had to reorganize my workshop for greater output—plus I've been laid up due to a knee injury—so I took the opportunity of some down time to make good on an old promise. I hope you'll find my new Tools and Supplies for the Modeler's Workshop clinic useful.

Although not directly related to the James River Branch, the subject of Rokuhan track is a topic of growing interest, and I'm using this website to increase its visibility. Recently some misinformation was published on various message boards about how to wire the switches, and I've been attempting to help with damage control; I've bumped my 1:220 log post on the subject so it gets more attention.
Meanwhile, I'm drafting a couple of detailed how-to articles on Rokuhan switches so that modelers receive as much information about them as possible. I personally feel that the Rokuhan roadbed track product is the best on the market from a technical standpoint (if not an aesthetic one), and they provide some powerful advantages over competing products. The problem is that most Z Scalers simply do not comprehend these distinctions—but once they do, they'll realize just how great Rokuhan switches are.
