Scenery and structures

I recently completed a Fair area on my little trolley layout (not so little anymore). My Fair area is comprised of all Faller Fair kits. The kits I got were the roller coaster, the shooting gallery, the orange juice stand, the swinging boats ride, and a couple of other stands. All total it was 9 structures.

Best plaster for scenery

Thu, 2013-07-11 17:07 — paxtonch

Hi all.

I made the mistake of using drywall mud for scenery and, I now know, that was a bad choice. I chose it because it comes premixed but it took forever to dry and now it's got huge cracks and is crumbling. What's a good alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Saving railroad history

I'll just throw this out there because I'm feeling quite pleased with the result. I've recently returned to model railroading after too long an absence. I recently retired and have begun a modest layout; I'm finding I feel an urgent need to accomplish some things before I'm too old to do them.
