I never thought about printing it out on a plotter. My dad's work has one and my drafting class has 2

I am just going to make my own. I took pictures of the mountains and with photodraw cloned them together. Next I separated them into 8 by 10s and will have walmart print them out for around $2.50. each. Its some work but I am getting specificly what I want to fit the area. If you make them...

10-30-06 Much better day. I soldered jumper wires to several points. And found the smoke box door. Everything is working better. I also cleaned the wheels again. The solderind was alot easyer than I thought.:thumb: The only problem I had was, don't laugh too hard, I got my wires...

I almost forgot a track plan. Dark track is the tunnels. The only change I made when building was to not have the loop in the center. It looked stupid.

I know this thread is a little old but I was looking again. Once again I made a removable section sort of what your talking about. It was for a tunnel though. I wouldn't do this unless absoloutly nessesary . It is hard to conceil the edges. Loud music, if you wasnted to see a more recent...

:oops:Opps I was wrong it isn't a reverse loop wasn't looking at it write:oops:

thanks longislandtom. Doesn't sound too hard. I gues I am just hesatant since I tried before but ended up with big globs of solder. The problem then I am assuming is I had a soldering gun wich was had to work with. I also didn't use flux. At the time i didn't even know what it was. Again...

Three questions please no arguments, leave them on the to solder or not to solder thread (thought a virtual fist fight was going to break out fence1). First is it too late to add jumper wires on my layout. the track is laid and parts are ballasted. At least I know some of the worst spots I...

I have been having a problem with the front guide wheels on my model power 2 8 2 mikado jumping the track, must of the time they jump back on at the several rerailers but every once in a while they get caught on the tunout. Not only that I don't like the rerailers.

What a bad day:curse::curse::curse::curse::curse:. For some reson my 2-8-2, my main and only working locomotive for now will not run, I can't get it to do anything,. It goes 8 inces then stops or derails or decouples. Worst of all the smoke box door came of inside one of the tunnels. It can't...

nmra has a very good tutorial http://www.nmra.org/beginner/wiring.html. If you took out that small section you wouldn't have a reverse loop and wouldn't have to worry about it.

another coat of paint the color is really off due to the light

layout pics of the gorge My layout is finally starting to take some shape this weekend I just started to make the gorge. I got the sculptamold on have started painting the base coat. The layout is very lossly based of the area I live in. Starting from left to right is the royal gorge and the...

Plaster plaster and oh ya hydrocal

goldtoth1bounce7the modeling clay is exactly what I was wanting

I was wondering can you stamp plaster. I have seen people stamp concreate and wondered can I make decent rock face the same way. I have a shallow mold I made from a real rock that I could use but I don't know if it will work. If I can it will mean a lot less plaster and alot less time spent...

I blame it on thomas the tank.:D after thomas it was a hot weels train set. After hot wheels it was a cheap lifelike kit setup on a 4 x 4 sheet of masonite that my dad threw together.

simmilar problem I too need a bridge. :rolleyes: I need an approxamate n scale suspention bridge. I know there will be modifiening but I need a starting point. It is for a two lane road to go over a canyon also, more specifcly the royale gorge.hamr

atlas sells the under mount swich machines and essentially they are the same thing but with a push rod that bends up at a 90.

The layout looks great. I can't tell any loss in detail, the trees look real.
