Please Post your tips HERE !

Most people, including myself are not interested in weeding and searching through another site as it relates to the conversation going on on THIS BLOG.

I thought this forum was for sharing, not for advertising personal web sites and accomplishments.

Sorry, but it seems too many people recently feel the need to show off their site, rather than join the conversation and provide input. and share their modeling. Not their urls .

OK with me...

One click on Eric's link provides the info.  I don't see it is "advertising" or showing off his own personal site, as he's only sharing the info that's already there rather than re-posting it all on MRH.  I see that as his decision.  No harm, no foul.

I understand where Eric is

I understand where Eric is coming from.  Many of us have blogs elsewhere (not on MRH), either because we started them before MRH or because we prefer the formatting/control you get elsewhere, or both.

When I have something on my blog that's relevant to an ongoing discussion I think it's reasonable to post a summary here on MRH with a link to the appropriate blog entry.

I don't know what's appropriate for a whole new blog entry.  It may depend on the case.  A progress update blog entry could certainly be worthy of a post here on MRH with a few photos and a link to the blog for the rest.  This particular case seems like it would be hard to summarize like that, it seems like the only real alternatives are a) copy the whole thing here,b) post only a link to it here, or c) post nothing here.

I'd much rather see the link here than nothing, and I understand not wanting to copy the whole entry here.  And I do like browsing around on other peoples blogs to see what else interesting they may have.

And good tips by the way

The details on how to fill in the tie gaps are good, for those who haven't encountered them before.  It's surprising how many times at a train show you see the rail pushed up a bit around gaps where people haven't done as you recommend.
