Mike Rowe Tramway Museum

I thought I should share my 'Mike Rowe Tramway Museum' with you all.

This micro ('mike rowe' - get it?) layout is due for some electronic changes in the near future, but is currently pretty much as shown on the site at Mike Rowe Tramway Museum

I love it Jeff, glad traction modeling is alive and well in New Zealand

Nice..
But I was thinking of Mike Rowe, the host of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs"

Thanks for the kind words guys

Since posting the original message, I've fitted Micromark IRDOT infrared detectors to control the starting/stopping of trams. These replace the original none-too-reliable reed-switches.

The trams now run flawlessly using the IRDOT devices - great!

I've added a photo to the 'Control' page of my site to illustrate the electronics underneath this micro layout.
