Lighting provides another component of realism and is one of the best ways to make models look more lifelike.

I'll be sharing some of the infos on how I started my own layout. Right now, my current layout houses four tracks including the Kato Unitram (City area). It is laid on top of 30 x 70 inches surface.

The best nights are usually unplanned, ramdom and spontaneous.

Slowdown, everyone, you're moving too fast.

Hey, it's been a while since my last blog post. Sorry for the long hiatus on this personal blog! I've been in the Philippines for a couple of years now and been busy with my daytime job, my tech blog taragis.com, and my N-Scale hobby trains (wala paring love life ahe).

Day in, day out, was hooked in Youtube videos watching hobbyists as they completed their train layouts. Though there's no outlet selling scale model trains...

But as I celebrate my birthday today far away from home again for the seventh times, it’s different now, it’s thrilled with much excitement. I finally am going home (totoo na ‘to). There are tons of reasons why at a certain point, we have to leave what we consider our home - our family, our loved ones. We go places to spend some time for leisure, to find for a new opportunity, to travel the world, to stay away from stress and more. May it be for just a couple of days, for weeks, months or years, I guess most of us are certain...
