Hey guys,

I’m trying to find a automatic turnout switch like the one in the picture. I don’t need it to actually work just need one for aesthetics.  I haven’t had any luck finding one online. If anyone can send a link I’d appreciate it.  I think it’s an automatic switch stand base that the dispatcher can control. 

Thanks

Hi:

Do any of you recognize this structure? Is it a kit? If so, what brand and what's the kit name?

Thanks for any help.

Last night I made my first butt joint of many in a DPM Goodnight Mattress kitbash to join two sidewalls into a single wall to make a low releif building.  I was really careful to get good 90* edges to work with, pushed the pieces together on a straightedge and applied the glue to the back of the joint.  I expected the glue to wick down into the joint and weld the entire seam, but it seems like there was little wicking action.  I am left with a beautiful, but quite flexable joint.

I feel like my options are:

For my new layout I need to scratch build a lot of stucco/concrete warehouses.  I have never had much luck with the score and snap method with plastic.  That means cutting out a lot of windows and doors from sheet plastic.  I saw in the Micro Mark catalog a tool called a Wondercutter, which looks like an Exacto knife that vibrates.  It is really expensive, but if it works as it looks would be worth it for me.  Has anyone out there tried one of these in scratch building structures?
