Hi all,

        Question:I need to move ballasted track bonded with matte medium any special(i.e. easy) way to do this?My customer wants to move a switch/spur that has been in place for months.The track can be replaced but I need to save the switch.

Thanks for any help,Dr Dirt

This may seem like a foolish question, but I don't want to make any assumptions here.  What size of scenic material should I use for O Scale.  In particular ground foam for making the different types of trees and flock for static grass.  For instance do I still use fine ground foam for the pine needles of Conifer trees? And for Static Grass would I just use double the length that is recommended for HO Scale in Joe Fugate's Video on Scenery?

Any body have any ideas for modeling a flat, rubber membrane roof, such as typically seen on industrial buildings? I have several flat roofed buildings for my paper mill complex, and I'd like to vary the roof from the typical tar and stone approach or metal roof that I've already used. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Most layouts have some water somewhere, and unless it's a pond, it has to end rather abruptly at the edges of the layout.  I'd like to see how people manage to make that edge look good.  Do you paint the edge like the fascia?  Leave it clear?  Hide it in some way?  What about the back, where it hits the backdrop?
