Here's another view.

This is a picture of a diorama I built several years ago using a City Classics kit. I did it to try some scenery techniques I wanted to play with. I’ll be tearing it apart and incorporating the gas station into a module that I’m now building. George

I see Train World has the Mantua 2-6-6-2, with tender, for $84.99. http://www.trainworld1.com/pdf2/TWAHO%201_04.pdf Looks too good to be true. George

Here's one I've used: http://www.railpub.com/ They have a pretty extensive selection. George

I see empty log cars and virgin timber but no lumberjacks. Do you have a labor problem?:) George

Don, I'll see if this works. QuickCAD doesn't have 3D, and I wish it did. But I'm too set in my ways to go out and buy another program and learn how to use it. George

I was wondering if the cad program had a selection of windows that can be plugged into a drawing? Pat, I hope I'm doing this quote thing right. QuickCAD comes with a bunch of "symbols", including doors and windows. To put them in the drawing you use a technique similar to "click and...

Nice work. How long did it take you to build it? (including the detailed planning that you had to do to pull it off) George

For reference, those signs were printed on an HP Deskjet 932C, nothing fancy. Don, I agree about CAD being best when you don't need something fancy, but you can add pictures (sorta like pasting) to drawings. Here's a sign I did. The hotel was designed on my computer and made into a paper...

A couple of years ago I bought QuickCAD for the purpose of designing structures. In the process of playing with it, I found it can be used to make terrific signs. All size letters are crisp and clear. In the picture, the letters, “CB&W” are 2.5” high (HO scale), or about 0.03” in real size...

I made some "NO TRESPASSING CB&W Railroad Property" signs for our club layout. The letters are 0.02 high, but I don't have any photos of them. George

Nice work. I like the way you added the second structure and the connecting passageway - it adds a lot of character to it. George

A couple of years ago I picked up QuickCAD for designing structures. I discovered I could make great signs with it. You can scale the lettering down to any size you want. I can print words so small I need my reading glasses to read them - OK, a bad example since I use reading glasses to see...

Thanks for the review. You probably saved a lot of us the expense of trying the molds ourselves. I guess our options are 1. Carve the bricks ourselves, which is beyond my skill level. 2. Use brick sheets like Plastruct. Anyone have an option 3? George

Troy, Sorry, I don't have an answer for you on the Dull Coat. You might ask the guy at your local hobby store. Dull Coat is a clear dull finish "paint". By the way, in the interest of accuracy, my bridge is HO. The weathering technique is the same, it just takes less materials to do in in...
