I was reading the Corrugated Shed from Computer Cable:thumb: and found it interesting. I model O scale so the regular cable is too small
.
I looked through my box of cable and found an old SCSI Cable . The pitch of the wires is right, a twenty four inch peice of corrugated metal with the right number of corrugations on two inch centers can be produced.
I place heavy duty aluminum foil on the cable and emboss it with a tooth brush. This is the method Jack Work invented in the late '50's in his famous coal mine article. He used a single cut file in HO.
I have been looking for a template for O scale but until have found nothing suitable.
Isn't a forum of new ideas great, keep them coming
.
Thank you
Harold
