Ideas For Making Layout Facia Labels
I need to make some attractive facia text labels for my HO CNY&NE Railroad and would love to have some ideas on how to proceed.

A paper cutter could be used to cut the labels to size and then stick them to the facia.

The new Carendt.com (known for the Small Layout Scrapbook) website is live!
After more then 100 hours of work, I finally launched the new Carendt.com website yesterday. A new Small Layout Scrapbook post will follow somewhere this week!
In the course of about a year, I converted the whole website from a static HTML website, to a readable, dynamic, maintainable and easily expandable website. It was a lot of work, but given the reactions I have already gotten, it was surely worth it!
The main issues with the old website were:
