    Where are the Great Young Model Railroaders?

    Quote by mileswestern "It was Riven (Sequel to Myst), which for a kid, was fascinating, but difficult." I miss those games. I have them somewhere. I can't remember the name of my first computer, but it was like a big calculator with a keyboard. It used a tape deck as a hard drive and a...

    Where are the Great Young Model Railroaders?

    That sounds like a cool idea. I could never work that fast myself though. You have more than 1 moodel RR shop near you? That is cool. There is only one in my area and I thought I was lucky. They have multipal layouts in every scale and have one counter where a couple of guys do nothing but...

Long...

    cork road bed

    I am using sectional and flexitrack. It is a 4'x4' layout that is too low for me to bend over it and solder without trashing my back so I have taking it apart and soldering it on a TV tray. I guess that the heat cause the track to change a little. :confused: I did manage to bend it back to...

    cork road bed

    I have no idea how it happened, but after soldering most of my track I decided to lay it back out on the roadbed and give it a run. The other day it all lined up perfect and the bed is glued. Now almost none of it lines up and I am going to have to redo the cork. :eek: Any sugestions? It is...

    homade plaster cloth

    Not to be rude. I know it will be messy and hate the wording on woodlands scenics package of it that says "no mess". The thing is just want to make some plaster and don't want to buy plaster.

    ground cover

    Oh, I have several different shades and textures of ground foam. I also sifted soil from the garden to use as ground cover. My roomates thought I was nuts when I baked it. I went along with that thought and said it was for a secret recipe. Now they don't ask me to cook. he he hesign1

    ground cover

    "Who says foam has to stay the color it was when in the package?" Good point. :thumb: Not sure if you meen the foam base, I ended up with pink. :eek: I wanted blue for part of my lake streams and rivers which will be painted and have rocks and twigs anyway. :mrgreen: I can't wait to get this...
