The Traingineers will be finishing up an installation for a North Texas Residential Layout this week leaving space on the studio floor to be filled with four other incoming layouts!

I do often sound like a broken record and here I go again – the Traingineers absolutely outdid themselves in every aspect of craftsmanship with this 200 square foot O Gauge Layout!

Chief Traingineer, Roger Farkash, designed this layout to incorporate six built-in display areas with five metal shelves in each for a total of 160 feet of shelving in the base made out Red Oak. The elevated track loop oversees several Traingineer hand crafted models; including the Hotel Settles, Big Spring, TX Station, Dallas Union Terminal, replica of church customers were married in and a high rise business office that can be seen off the Dallas Tollway!

Enjoy some photos of preparing for final walk-through with customer, dismantling, and installing in Dallas, TX USA!

Happy Tracks!

I love forward thinking to fall while it’s still summertime in Texas and Hotter Than a Pistol. Indulge me here…

So we’re all on this turbulent, unpredictable, 2020 Coronacoaster Ride and experiencing the wild high’s and downer lows but thanks to all of our *Traintastic Customers, Family, Friends, Employees, Vendors, and TW TrainWorx Fans – I’m super grateful that everyday I continue to count many more blessings than hardships. Here’s something we can ALL be grateful for… we’re a little more than half through 2020 >>> Can I get a YEE HAW???? 🙂 🙂 🙂

So thanks for the indulgement (Maybe a Traindame word) and now on to the September Surprise.

*** WARNING *** *** WARNING *** *** ENVY ALERT *** *** ENVY ALERT ***

For all you Ferroequinologist who may not yet have a train layout – be sure to show your wife this:

I received a call from Sandy who doesn’t know ANYTHING about trains but thought it would be cool to have someone do a Suspended RR over her and her husband’s hunting lodge bar/main room – – – and wouldn’t it be Super Special to have it installed, up and running, to present to her husband for a SURPRISE SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now gentlemen, I know you’d agree… that is one Traintastic wife!

The Traingineer’s are fast tracking this project to complete her Birthday Surprise Suspended RR wish by September 1st!

Thanks to our Traintastic Customers as well as the PPP Loan, we’ve been able to continue operations with our Talented Traingineers having successfully completed and continue working on several projects (List first – pictures to follow):

Modeled and installed over a dozen custom models for the Plano Interurban Museum, Installation of the Kansas City Union Station/Science City, Children’s Train Layout, two local Dallas/Metroplex residential layout enhancements, Reagan is finishing up a residential layout that will be installed in Florida and he just returned from a site-survey in Ohio for custom residential layout we’ll be designing/fabricating/installing this year.

Because of the ongoing, extraordinary, and crazy creative brainstorming that continues between the incredible duo of Farkash and Reagan – we’ve introduced the following new O Gauge products into our TW TrainWorx On Line Store:

*Modern Cell Tower Kit
*Three Company House Kits (Bonus Kitchen with Bundle Kit)
*Church Kit
*Enhanced our Chicago Union Station
*Dallas Union Station

Oh… I forgot to mention, now that we have a CNC in-house, Farkash decided to design our very own TW TrainWorx Showroom Suspended RR so we’re cutting pieces for not only Sandy’s Suspended RR but our own as well! More news on another TWX Product… s u s p e n s e is killing me >>> LOL

And now some photos, starting with the Suspended RR in process – Enjoy 🙂

Happy May!

Thought I’d share some GREAT NEWS! TW TrainWorx and the Traingineers will be getting back to Traingineering this month!!! We are shooting for May 11th to get the Traingineers back in the Dallas Studio and we will be extremely mindful of precautions that have been put in place to protect our health: social distancing, good/consistent hygiene, and staying home when not feeling well – WE’VE GOT THIS!

I want to especially thank all our Trainiac friends for making April 2020 one of the highest online sales to date!! We are so appreciative of your support and making our continued Traingineering journey possible – THANK YOU!!!!

We are coming out with two new Kit products that should be included in our TrainWorx Store by mid month; O Scale Church Kit and O Scale Cell Tower so be on the lookout 🙂

What were the Traingineers working on eight years ago?? The BNSF Corporate Layout! Thought you’d get a kick out of seeing some of the circa 2012 photos of making the One and Only BNSF Corporate layout in our McGowan Street Studio – Enjoy!

Today, we should have been setting up the BNSF Layout in Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s Meeting but… well, you know – so we set up here 🙂 Enjoy!

Happy Tracks!

That’s right, we’re only 48 days into the new year… new decade and today, we find some of our Traveling Traingineers in the Super Bowl Champion City of Kansas City, MO where they are just beginning installation on a custom TW TrainWorx O Gauge Layout designed and fabricated exclusively for Science City – Kansas City Union Station’s brand new TRAIN themed Children’s museum opening in the Spring 2020.

Let’s see so far in the first 48 days of this year the Traingineers have:

*Designed new layout for existing Traintastic Floridian customer and have approval to fabricate and install layout during second quarter
*Lined up meeting with New York Historical Society discussing new layout potential 🙂
*Dismantled the TWX custom Holiday Layout in Charlotte, NC where it will be stored until this year’s Holiday Season Set-up
*Dismantled The Trains at NorthPark Train Exhibit
*Dismantled two residential Holiday Layouts
*Worked “in house” at three different North Texas residential layouts where new mountains have moved in, streams have been poured, custom models of homes have been finished, engine shed modifications and continued Traingineer   activity for the remainder of the first quarter.
*Finished an extension to a Traintastic Customer’s O Gauge Layout to be installed in the Hill Country of Texas very soon
*Completed custom model’s; (3) Chrysler Buildings, Grand Central Terminal Base, Met Life Building, Empire State Building, and a Denver Union Station
*Finished fabrication on the Science City Museum
*Reagan, when not in Dallas, flew to Reno to assist with some electrical challenges on a layout ( not ours) and last week, before
flying out to Kansas City, handled a layout assessment
*Participated in two train shows

How about some pictures? First up 300 Express Holiday Layout displayed inside the Lobby of 300 Tryon in Charlotte, NC
