I was talking with someone a few weeks ago and they gave me the idea to do a RIP track, which is something I had been thinking about for a while...
Bruce, that model looks great! How are the Blair Line kits to assemble?
Ordered the applicator from MicroMark since they have 20% off this weekend. Hopefully will have it before too long and will report back.
From what I can tell, the wire was connected to the basket (and I fidgeted around with it a bit), so my bet is something inside, even though it...
I just put several drops of scenic cement with a few of IPA and water around a nail and then attached the clip to the nail. With the button...
Hi Rick, I just tested this and found that from the alligator clip to the battery terminal (negative), the multi-meter shows continuity when the...
Welcome back Paul! I always love your photos! Also, like Dale said - go for the expansion :) - it looks manageable.
Here's some updated photos. Still hard to tell for me. I made sure to heavily saturate my base ground foam layer (fine dirt from WS). I also...
Great video Rick, thanks for sharing! I just tried some of the techniques from your video so we will see how it turns out. I'll post some...

Glad I wasn't alone on the IPA thing :-P. I thought alcohol was a no-no here because of the potential sparks from the applicator? Is that not an...

Thanks guys! My basket is usually pretty close to the surface, but I'll make sure to pay special attention to that tonight. @jpwisc - I am using...
I've seen many great looking static grass scenes on a variety of layouts, both in person and in photos. However, I've been having a heck of a time...
Jim, where did you get all the details on the platforms? They look great, but as we all know, those details are much harder to find in N scale.
The service facility scene looks great Jim!
Thanks Karl! This is super helpful! Let the searching [for decent deals] begin!
I am currently working on building my rolling stock inventory in preparation for operations on my new Mill Valley Lines N-scale freelance,...
Hopefully I'll be able to say hi tomorrow Jim! Would be nice to meet a fellow Trainboard member. (AKA I'll be going to Trainfest). Tonight,...
