Another thing I found in my box-o'-trains is an Atlas HO scale roundhouse.  Nice, I need a roundhouse, and had planned on scratch building one.  This could come in handy..

Looking at it, the roundhouse is designed for 15 degrees between the stall tracks.  I thought that's what I'd built, but it turns out that I went with only 10 degrees.  Spreading the tracks isn't an option, for space reasons, so it looks like I have to kitbash the structure.

Does anyone know of a source of 1/16" yellow tape that could be used for HO scale highway lines, road edge lines, parking lot lines, etc? 

I am aware of the November 2010 evening project article that used tape to mask a sprayed yellow line, but I think that technique will be too time consuming for what I need to do. 

Thank you for any suggestions and recommendations. 

I created a stream bed brushing on plaster over foam. As you can see below, the stream bottom is painted, rocks and some branches added and a first layer of WS Realistic Water applied. The painted bottom is a bit strong and I would like to add a second layer of water, but first color the water shades of green/blue. What are some techniques to add color to Realistic Water?  Thanks, John.

Has anybody come up with a good way to model Kudzu?

I've been looking at the stuff all year (what do you think an engineer does, look down the track?) as I run through the countryside, and I've noticed a few things.  For one, I like the look, the consistency of it.  For another, it doesn't look anything like ground foam.  Finally, it changes according to the season.
