As promised, here is the second part of my step-by-step process for building windows from scratch.

wiring BLMA signals

Sat, 2013-06-08 17:09 — Gavine2009

I am looking into wiring BLMA signals to twin coil switch machines. I am unsure if I can wire them direct to the switch machine. Most LED signals have a wire for every light which make it possible to wire to. What I need to know is is it possible to wire the signals direct to the twin coil switch machines??? Help please......

Miller engineering billboards

Fri, 2013-06-07 05:02 — hoffertg

This might seem like an elementary question, but I am thinking of purchasing a Miller Engineering billboard sign (Mobil gas). My question is I have an Ho scale layout, but the HO scale billboard looks a little over powering in size. I saw the N scale sign on a layout in a hobby shop and it looked more protypical. Has anyone had any experience with these signs and it so what has your experience been?

Can BLMA signals be wired to a twin coil switch machine to show switch indication??

We all use 'em- they dry real quick...so how do you prolong their drying-time so that after you wipe the excess off they don't dry before you apply?

Am I asking the impossible?

Shredded paper for tree cover?

Mon, 2013-06-03 13:24 — p51

I was driving down the highway the other day and noticed some trees with some very large leaves. I have always thought most trees on model train layouts are lacking realism in that they rarely show leaves.

Then it hit me, as I am currently designing a On30 layout, why not take green paper and run it through a shredder?

Can you identify this industry ???

Gang,

I found this neat looking industry that could probably be modeled with Walthers Modulars but I have no idea what it does or why it exists. It is located in Peoria, Illinois on the waterfront.

Double-hung, Double-Paned Windows From Scratch - Part 1

Sun, 2013-06-02 18:57 — tracymckibben
A few people have asked for more details on how I build my windows, so I've written up a step-by-step walkthrough of how I do it.  It seems daunting, but once you've built the first couple and get more comfortable, it really goes pretty smoothly.
 
First, think about the basic parts that make up a double-hung, double-paned window.  Structurally, it's very simple (click for larger image):
