Progress, Changes, & More Building Mock-Ups in the Union Station area
One of the great things about the model railroad hobby is that it has a lot of different aspects to it. When I get tired of doing the layout construction and/or electrical aspect, I can shift to buildings & scenery. For the last couple of weeks, I have been working on some of the key buildings within the Union Station area of the layout. Even though I had shifted from doing track & electrical, I ended up having to add an additional passenger track (Track # 4) to Union Station to provide for mail and postal operations.

Corrugated siding or roofing with laser?
Here's a question for the laser users. Is it possible to laser scribe scale corrugated metal for walls or roofs? I need to make a large tin building and am thinking that gluing many tiny sheets of siding is going to make it look too busy or exaggerated. I was thinking a wall or roof with more subtle scribed corrugations might look better as well as be less trouble to construct. Anyone had any experience with this process? .....DaveB

Colorado Front Range Railroad update May June 2016
Well the fist 24 feet of the backdrop is painted. It only took 8 tries and a clinic from Paul Rising and watching a few hours of You Tube videos on painting techniques but it is done. This months video was going to be a long one so I broke it down into two parts. The first part is just on paining the backdrop. The second part is on an update for the railroad and showing the new logo.
Here are both videos hope you enjoy!
Scratchbuilding a truss bridge
Anybody ever scratch build a Warren truss Bridge? Or know where some actual dimensional plans might be? I am good at scratch building but not without plans. I know what types of styrene shapes I need but not how many nor what dimensions. I have googled the topic and found a lot of websites but none that actually have a drawing showing exactly how to do and what specific materials are needed. So if anyone has a link to someplace that I can go to, that would be great.
building kit plans
Im looking for the plans to an FSM #255 G>Wilikers Machinery Wholesaler. My cat knocked it off the shelf and it is repairable but a copy of the plans would really help. Roger 512-709-3273
