Dear MRHers,

I've always enjoyed weathering, but hate painting. However, my current structure project(s) are proving to be particularly painful as they involved the color white. I find light colors (white, yellow, and some reds) are always hard to apply, particularly as I don't use an airbrush.
(Is an airbrush a magic-bullet solution for always-good paint coverage?)

we've covered this before but I was recently asked to take a few pictures that show close ups of the roads on my layout. Soooooo.......I snapped a few shots to put them all in one thread so they can be searched easily.

 Here are two earlier threads that really started the ball rolling on using black 2mm EVA foam. Kathy Millatt also shows the technique in her videos.

I have made my own 1860's era telegraph poles with two insulators on each pole. I have purchased Heavy E-Z Line for the wires. My problem is I need to find a way to disconnect and reconnect the telegraph wires at a module junction in my layout. The modules will not be taken apart often, but occasionally might be taken apart. I saw this same question raised about 3 years ago, but only saw one possible solution. That was to make loops in the wire to be taken off and reattached to the insulators. I'm not sure if this can be done with Heavy E-Z Line.

Where would a transformer this size be delivered?  I'm wondering if it would be appropriate for a university sized power plant, approximately 20,000 students.  What sort of capacity is it? Would it actually go to a power plant or just a sub-station?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Paul
