I have my masonite cut to 24" high and when mounted to wall will be 21 -23' long [N scale] What type of paint did you use for sky and clouds [latex or oil?] Did you use a roller or brush for the sky? Thanks

What did you use for your background [sky/clouds]? I am ready to buy masonite for my N scale. I think I will need approx. 21'. I am wondering how tall to have the masonite [24" or full size 48". I'm not sure if I want to try painting or buying ready made. I'm not sure how I will secure it either...

Our Costco had these for sale approximately $17 as I recall.

Thanks Scott. My estimate is I would need three sheets of masonite and the starting point would be perfect as the splices would be offset the corners. I see that the photo's are pricey but I may bite the bullet [so to speak] and try them first. I haven't looked in LHS's for them yet but would...

Thanks SeanM, I think masonite will work for me since I am just starting. I haven't decided whether to paint or use photo's though.

Thanks Ralph. I'm wavering between either painting or buying scenic photo's that are in Walthers catalog. Any ideas or experience with the photo's? This being a first for me I am unsure myself. Thanks

Sorry, I posted a question in "Technical Q & A" that looks like should have been posted here. Bear with me I'm new with posts. Kindly view there and respond if possible. Thanks

Micro-Mark sells Wahl Clipper Oil

I looked in on my train room this weekend. It's still there waiting for me. I keep promishing myself to get back working on it. This fall and winter I will have lots of time to enjoy my N in progress.

Yes, Wa State. Close to Seattle, 20 minutes North.

Thanks for the info. I'll stop in when I can then.

I haven't been active in awhile. I have checked in Chat Room several times never finding any activity. Is this common these days? Not that that area is my favorite but used to enjoy some of it when I was here before.

I just renewed my subscription to MR for another 3 years. I enjoy reading it but am a novice in this hobby. I agree with some of the comments you all have made but am not as displeased as you seem to be. I suggest you forward your comments to MR, perhaps they are looking for reader feedback and...

Weights Thanks again/I was successful with the third car I attempted and with some minor adjustments it is running fine. I spent some time in a local hobby shop today where the owner took bottom of a new car off to demonstrate for me and gave me similar advice you guys gave as well. While I was...

Weights Thanks/one of my problems is I have several different mfg's of cars and not knowing what any are, other than micro trains and they don't need additional weight. I used small screwdriver blade to pry with but evidently broke off piece inside that would hold body on. They are next to...

Have digital scale/weights and many rolling stock. Is there a proper method to take box cars apart to add weight? Then how to put them back together? First one I tried I must have broke something so top won't stay on. New at hobby. Thanks:)

Thanks for the replys. I'm in over my head but will gain knowledge with time. I've had benchwork done for several years/lots of DC equiptment and everything else but am just now ready to go forward. Think I need to find an "N - club" to join so that I can benefit from their experience. Only...

Thanks.....Looking at B23-7 BNSF locos. There are 3 different road #'s. Is it usual to buy all 3 or mix up loco names? CM
