I Love it!! LOL:D

Hi, Michael, I use the sand they have for sand art at an Art Supply store, there are a number of colors and I actually mix a few together. It is also cheap, about $1.20 a 1LB bag. It is usually in the children's section. I have tried kitty litter and didn't like the color. Woodland Scenics I...

Good Morning Tom and everyone on The Gauge!! Good luck with the shopping, it is a zoo out there!!!:eek:

Good Morning Everyone. Casey, now you know why we have seperate credit cards, at least it wasn't $2000 in Railroad "stuff".:eek:

I personally use white glue, one thing I have been doing is making a few scores in the foam to get the glue to "bite" but that still takes overnight to dry.

I used to use this technique, but like Shamus says it takes awhile to dry and you need alot of layers. I have found plaster gauze works much better and if you go to a medical supply store is realatively cheap.

Gavin, Thanks for the photo's and inforamtion on your bridge building technique. You did a great job, it looks fantastic. I may borrow it for my own layout to cover an area wher three tracks disappear behind a few buildings in a city scene.:cool:

Yes we should clobber you Mr. Stumpy!!:D ;) Actually Nelson has just gotten back up and running with his new computer (donated by a fellow modeler). But since he is a moderator there (as am I and a number of other people who post here also) our duties require most of our time there. I personally...

I would have to agree with Vic. Sometimes it is better to space them so they look right as opposed to exact prototypical locations. I have seen them in real life at many different spacings anyways.

Works for me.

yes you are correct. I have been using it for about 3 years now. I would practice on a scrap piece first, but it works very well.

I use a nibbler tool from Micro-Mark which works very well. Here is the link http://www.dxmarket.com/micromark/products/81477.html

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

What I do is sprinkle many layers of different colors of green, a little medium green here, dark green there, light green, dried grass, etc. None of them even. And like Shamus said the first layer is just the starter, after about 8 layers you will be much happier!

Yes I have seen them on E-bay from time to time also, they usually go very cheap. I have also seen layouts with them on.

Excellent Work Shamus!! But I am partial to your old one;) (just kidding)

Oh No mine spread into the family room!! Actually I also showed her my plans before I started building this one and besides she has seen me build 2 others and has seen 4 others I built before I knew her :eek: Her only complaint is the mess when I am building benchwork.:D Of course if she...
