@Cory Rothlisberger - What is a Megatech X6000?

Megatech is a private label brand from American's Hobby Center when they were in the business.  It's not just train power pack throttles but they had a lot of radio control things that were of the Megatech brand.  I'm going to guess that throttle is 1980's vintage.

Thanks for that background. I had no idea the history behind the throttles. Found them on eBay in the early 2000's. There is a web address printed on the base unit, so I'd say they were a relatively new item when I bought them. I absolutely love them. It's nice to simply run some phone jacks on either side of the layout and not be stuck in one spot.

Please tell me you'll be A) posting those interior detail plans on your website and B) modeling a plywood mill next?

Sorry but no plans for a plywood mill, need to get this done and back to laying track.  When I get this done or done to a certain point I'll probably put files up if there is interest in them but .....the mill, pond, and green chain addition take up a large space so not sure if anyone is interested in it all.  Maybe if I put the files up parts of it could be cut apart and used but I don't have the time to do that???
