Have you figured out the grade(s) to get to and on the upper portion?
JMO, but why not use the curve on the right as an interchange? Run your "main" straight across the bottom. That way there'll be somewhere for...
Do you have plastic pellet hoppers? Around here, contemporary era, plastic pellets seem to shipped exclusively in pellet hoppers (round outlets...
One more idea: feather/rag out the edges of a strip of blue painters tape - anything to eliminate a straight edge. Lay tape over joint, apply...
I have foam on HC doors with the foam and door joints offset. I fill foam seam gaps with latex caulk and cover with sand (my version of "dirt")...
I've used a drywall square since I had one lying around. I have a table saw now.
I've had track as close as 2 inches to the abyss, but I've put up something as a roughly 2-in high fence - higher fascia, embankment, craft foam...
I had one, just to run an Atlas geep that I couldn't pass up and a few cars. Just an oval with a couple of spurs and a passing siding with a...
I'd move APMT yard to the front somewhere if possible to avoid reaching across the mains, especially if you'll have trains running while working...
Reviving an old thread - I've been diddling with a temp shelfie until I get around to finishing another train room (DW wants my train room and the...
Forgot - I have a pack of the sticky putty kids use in their dorm rooms for posters, etc. like MM mentioned above. Fun Tak or something like...
I like my 12' x 14" chainsaw shelfie. It's an LDE based on CN (ex-EJE) Leithton Sub in Plainfield, Illinois at 143rd St and Van Dyke. I sketched...
I found very thin (like Scotch tape thin) double sided tape at Hob Lob that I've used to temporarily hold track and craft foam for roads down....
I use the gray and black foam from Hob Lob for roads and parking lots. I prefer it to styrene, plaster, etc. Plus it's cheap.
Flew into Denver and drove up to Cheyenne - it's about an hour and 10 minutes on the interstate. Stopped in Fort Collins for lunch - quite a bit...
Sitting in the observation room in the Cheyenne Depot as I write this. Stack train stopped on fourth track. At least two mixed freights waiting...
Ok, so does somebody ride the cars and reset the brakes or are the drops limited to mild grades where the cars will stop on their own? I'm trying...
I guess I could just use the Giant Hand method. People uncouple cars with "telephone poles from the sky".
Heh. I see pure CN, BNSF, UP, NS and CSX power as well as the usual mixes with a rare CP unit on the CN Leithton Sub. Also locals with GTW or...
Been to MSP several times, but never did any fanning there.
