Your background building recommendations.

Mon, 2021-11-29 10:11 — Joe Circus

The closet expansion has finally begun! The benchmark is complete, the sky boards are painted blue and will have clouds added this weekend. They are about 20” above the foam base. It’s HO scale.

It’s 2 feet deep and about 10 feet wide ( long ) and will basically be a yard with background buildings along the 10 foot closet wall. I will attempt to shadow box this area as a trial run for the rest of the layout.

My question to you is this:

Unclogging a hair mister

Mon, 2021-11-29 07:51 — huthut

My hair mister got clogged with some crud that was in my scenic cement. To fix it, I was able to pry up the nozzle cover over the black nozzle. From there, I used some pliers to wiggle the black nozzle off. It took a fair amount of force before it popped, so maker sure you have room for your hands to move when it does. I used a micro brush and water to clean some chunks out of the nozzle. I then pushed it fully back into place and snapped the cover shut. Mister saved. Your model and mileage may vary.

Show me your M.T. Arms Hotel by Woodland Scenics

I am building a Woodland Scenics DPM kit of the M.T. Arms Hotel. I would love to see some finished hotels so I might find some inspiration in painting it. If you have one finished, would you mind taking a picture of it and sharing it?

Thanks!

Casting retaining walls - plaster or resin?

Wed, 2021-11-24 15:19 — krhodes1

I'm going to be trying out casting for the first time, I need 4-5 linear feet of HO retaining wall/bridge abutments for my latest project layout. Making the molds from RTV, but in doing lots of reading it looks like I could go with either plaster or resin for the actual castings.

Running VIA Rail Canadian

Sun, 2021-11-21 14:00 — Roger Litwiller

Taking a break from building to enjoy running trains today. VIA Rail Canadian passing the CNR Covipan Intermodal Yard on my layout, the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale. Power consists of three of the four Kato F40's that I customized, pulling 11 Rapido Trains coaches.
