Here's a picture of a bridge I built and weathered using artist's chalks. Rub the chalk on sandpaper to make a powder and apply with a Q-Tip. Then, seal with Dull Cote.

Philip, They're beautiful walls. I can't believe they're N scale. How did you make them? Are they hand carved? George

By the way, in case anyone else runs has had this problem. Well, you old timers may have run into it and posted the solution, but for us new guys here it is (again?). I tried to save this info for future reference. I tried to copy - paste the text to a word document and it came out blank...

Vic, thanks for the info. You've given me the confidence to tackle the project. George

I just bought a Roundhouse old time Mogul. The tender is sorta small, so I was wondering if anyone out there has put a sound system into one. By the way, Roundhouse has them on sale for $50, RTR (includes shipping). Go to: http://www.mdcroundhouse.com/ George

Let us know how the molds work out.

Looking at your photos makes me consider dumping my HO stuff and trying On30. Then reality hits and I realize it isn't the scale, it's the guy building the models. Very nice work. George

OK, I know you have better things to do than count threads. Where did you get the number? George

A couple of years ago I visited the Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum outside of Pittsburgh. http://www.wpmrm.org/ They had some buildings on their layout that had been made by using scale drawings that they had made. They cut out and pasted the sides and fronts to cardboard and...

Works great. Now explain how you have time to do such good modeling and still find time to mess with your web site?

Hey, I'm retired and find I don't have time to do much model railroading! This retirement is exhausting! George

Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to try the dampened towel on the track idea. I need to scrounge around the club for an old piece of rerailing track and follow the instructions in the MR article. I guess Goo Gone is the cleaning solution of choice, I've never tried it, but will soon. George

It works great and the layout looks pretty darn good too. George

And one more.

Here's one that also has an interesting shape.
