Approved now - you should be able to see it. Andrew

bday1bday2 Many happy returns! Andrew

I have a CNR maintenance of way book from the 1930s that lists these kinds of things. They also show how to stack spare ties and store lengths of rail, among other details. I would say I use these as a guide, but I do not (cannot?) stick to them because of the space required to do it true to...

Hey Shaun, Can you re-edit your post and put your original question and the solution back in? I am sure that whatever your issue was, some members could benefit from the information... Andrew

Looks fantastic Wayne! :thumb: :thumb: Can't wait to see the finished product! Andrew

Vett, Welcome! You'll notice that Zealot also has an R/C component too...! To answer your questions - In HO, the standard answer to the tightest turn question is 18" radius. You'd therefore need about 40" to form a loop. The radius is measured to the centre of the track, so you need to...

I thought you were talking about the "really bashed vehicles" thread, which is only 2 pages/19 posts long. Andrew

I cannot comment on the Floquil pens, btu I have used a Testors paint pen for track. It's a rusty sort of brown with a "fine" tip. While the colour is good, the "fine" tip is not fine enough, and I find that I get a little too much excess paint on the plastic "spikes". This can be hidden...

Thanks for bringing this one back to the top - creativity here is awesome! Andrew

Dave, Tell me the numbers of the posts you want moved (in the upper right corner of each post) and I will transfer them to the other thread if you want. Andrew

While you can fill gaps with multiple layers of "thin" CA set quickly by using an accelerator, there is "true" gap filling CA that has a thicker formulation. Accelerator is good for it too, since it is has a longer cure time in my experience. Another stand-by for filling gaps, especially air...

Nice work! How do you do the rotted upholstery? Andrew

Forgot about Princess Auto. But the reminder also triggers "Busy Bee" if you happen to have one of those near you. Andrew

So any results? Has the Commission released the Report, or is more research/study indicated? ;) :D Andrew

Tetters, Canadian Tire had their Mastercraft digital caliper on sale a few weeks back for $18, regular ~$36. Goes on sale from time to time, so keep an eye out for it again... ;) :) Andrew

You might also consider bringing the lights down closer to the shelf. You might need more that way, but could get away with the singles, as less light will be "lost" to the room. One other advantage of doing this is that you can create another shelf above the lights that might be useful. Andrew

Thanks Tom...! :) Andrew

Hi Ernie, One more place to search is: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/ I had forgotten about this... Luckily, it's in our Plans & Blueprints forum...! hamr ;) Andrew

Thanks for the kind words Ernie. There were no plans... I got a few pictures from here on The Gauge, especially for the waterspout. But generally, the tower was a visual copy of the Atlas one, for which there are many pictures. It was my first serious attempt at a scratch build. I did it...

Hi Ernie, I made this one: http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99201&highlight=water+tower by eye as my first scratch-build. It roughly follows the ubiquitous Atlas model, with the core of the tower made from a sturdy cardboard ribbon spool. Since the prototype ones varied...
