    The logging area on my mushroom layout

    Robin, I'm sorry, guess I'm the one who needs to be corrected :oops: I was looking for a switchback from the main to the small yard, didn't even think of the yard as part of the switch back. Sorry :oops: Jesper

    Digital camera help

    I think know what it is, but I can't remember exactly what it is called, I think it's interference. I even searched www.dpreview.com to see if I could find the explanation in there somewhere, but wasn't able to (maybe it's too early, it's only 6.10am Sunday :) ) It's the same phenomenon as...

    Hand laying my track

    Here is how I did it when I build my N scale track. As you can probably see from the pictures, I solder the track to PC ties (printed circuit board ties from Clover House). So first I glue the ties down on top of either the bare plywood or cork roadbed. I used regular white glue, but would...

    Hand laying my track

    I did some handlaying with C40 in N scale. I got hooked on it after visiting the N scale layout in San Diego, all their track is hand laid C40 rail, it looks so much better (in my opinion) than any commercial track. I have a few pictures of my work here...

    Plaster Clth? Good, Bad, Or Ugly?

    I once checked a medical supplier store, and their plastercloth was more expensive than the woodland scenics ones. I usually buy mine at Michael's, it's same price as the woodland scenics, but I usually only use it for small areas. If I have larger areas (haven't done any scenery in more than I...

    Plaster Clth? Good, Bad, Or Ugly?

    As Neil said, plastecloth is only for the hardshell, it's an easy clean (and more expensive) way to build the hardshell, it replaces plaster / paper towel. But after the hardshell has dried, you need to add either rock castings, or add plaster / sculptamold and carve the rock details you want.

    don't know, I use Mozilla, and there you can disable popups - what a relief it was when I switched to Mozilla 2 years ago. I think they (Microsoft) finally added the same feature to their IE. Jesper

    Pink Boutique: Lame to Fame

    Looks good Tom. Just curious, what printer do you use to print the signs?, can you set the resolution on the printer say 200dpi so when you print a image you know exactly how big it will be?
