I was just at my parents house tonight where my dad had a can of expanding foam insulating material laying around. Is this something that has been tried by anyone for scenery? Maybe just for filling in small holes or anything?? It seems like it could have some use. When it dries it's...

This is my first tip, but since I'm a newbie it's probably already known. Also, this gives me a chance to attempt an image upload. I was trying to find a wood glue bottle with a small enough tip for good accuracy (I know most people probably use tooth picks for small areas) on small parts...

As some of you may know from reading the N-gauge section here, I am pretty new to all this stuff (actually a born-again model RR'er from my younger days) so I've got questions up the wazoo. I've never actually tried scratchbuilding anything before so I thought I'd give it a try. I picked what...

Yes, I must calm down or I might get discouraged before I get very far. My problem is that I live a good distance away from any shops and the only time I get to go is on the weekends. So, if I run into a roadblock and cannot proceed on a project because of something I may need, I have to wait...

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the hobby of model railroading. You could call me a "born-again model rr'er. I tried my hand at the hobby as a youngster but never stayed with it (too many other hobbies and distractions). Now, I am much older and am going to try it again. I've always liked...
