    info on sign CD ?

    I'm looking at an add in RMC for a CD with thousands of RR signs from www.modelbuilder.info. Before I spend that kind of money on a CD ($25), I would like to hear from anyone who has actually tried it, to get their opinion on the quality of the clip-arts etc. I'm interested in the time period...

    which decal paper to use ?.

    I would like to try and print my own decals, so today I tried to print but without any great success. I have an Epson C86 ink jet printer, and I have tried on 2 different kinds of decal paper (the only 2 kinds the local hobby shop have). First I tried on Microscales clear laser printer film...

    Old Danish steamer.

    Hope you don't mind. I was looking at pictures from my 2003 trip back to Denmark, and thought I would post a few pictures I took of an old steamer at the Danish Railway Museum.

    Too many sub forums at the top level?.

    Would it be possible to somehow hide sub forums from the top level?, I just noticed that now we have upcoming event, id badges and 'face behind the name' sub forums all showing up at the top level. Am I the only one who thinks we are getting too many 'sub' forums at the top level? Jesper

    I give up (painting tiny vehicles)

    Some time ago (after the backup and before the crash) I posted a question about how to paint those tiny Williams Bros HO vehicles, as I had a problem with the paint kind of peeling when painting the second color (white) on top of the base color (blur). Well, after some searching, I got to the...

    Railfanning the Tehachapi (7 pictures)

    Last Saturday I went to Tehachapi for a little bit of railfaning, and I thought that I would share a few pictures with you. It was a great day with a decent amount of traffic, but we did have a dead period of almost 2 hours right after we got there, so I was getting a bit nervous that I would...

    Here are a few pictures of what I have been working on for the last couple of weeks. It's Woodland Scenic's mini scene "Smiley's Tow Service" which comes complete with castings, ground foam, trees etc. I think overall it turned out ok, most of the castings needed a lot of cleaning/filing to...

    A few pictures of my HO diorama I started last weekend. I have only gotten the track down. It's C55 track with PC ties. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to wire it and paint the track (shouldn't take too long) Hmm weird, I'm using railimages, and it was working when I first posted it...

    Any experience using glue when hand laying track?

    What I'm think of here is using glue, instead of spikes of solder/pc ties, for attaching the rails to the ties. I have do some hand laying with C40 and pc ties in N scale, and are quite comfortable using that method, but now I decided to try my hands on some C55 HO track. I have no experience...

    How to get this weathered look? (tar paper)

    Inspired by this thread http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7542&highlight=freight+house I decided to try my hands on an HO building (instead of as usual N). So before Christmas I bought the kit and spend whatever spare time I had during the holidays painting it...

    Should I go dual scale?

    I know that I’m really the only person who can answer this question, and actually I’m not really looking for any answers, more…. maybe some comments. My wife and I may start looking for a bigger house sometime next year, and of course one of my requirements for a new house is a ‘choo choo’...

    Just a simple corner building

    Well, I finally managed to get something done, it's not much, but at least it's something. I started about the same time as Robin started his CP station, so while he managed to finish 3 amazing buildings (CP station, Griswold United Church and the Court House), I managed to get only this one...

    Problems with Micro Marks RTV mold

    I know I did something wrong, and I think I know what it is, just want to verify with someone who has used it before with success. The other day I received the RTV rubber and resin from Micro Mark, and of course immediately I made my first mold. That mold came out all right and I have made a...
