All,

I am looking for a bit of advice. I have a completed structure that I have weathered and put the final coat of dull clear coat on. I was working on it yesterday, adding some "weeds" to the base of the foundation. I decided to use Isopropyl Alcohol to allow the scenery glue to flow easier. This turned out to be a mistake. Now the side of my building has turned white. I have tryed to clean it off with soap and water but there was not improvement.

Does anyone have any advice on how to correct this problem. Can I add another coat of dull?

I am building a 4 X 8 layout that is located in a spare room in our house. One day I know I will have to give up this room to be used for another purpose. To make moving the layout possible, I knew I would have to build it to come apart. Here is what I have done to make things easier on myself.

I promised in my previous post (here) that I would give more information about the signaling system that I am building. I will do my best to explain the systems without sounding too technical.

I have begun building an HO scale model railroad on a dreaded 4 X 8, although my layout is actually 4' 10" X 8'. This post is really about the searchlight signals that I have built from scratch. Although I know how to solder electronics I have decided that it was about time that I learned how to work with brass. I have just finished making my first signal and I felt like sharing it with the community.
