Sand box sand for ballast and scenery
I have some sand box sand I purchased from my local big box store. I bought it for putting on our driveway when ice and snow hit.
It is close to the color of the aggregate hauled out of South Florida by FEC so would be great for my gondolas and hoppers for Naranja Quarry. Also for the ground around there. I model in HO scale.
It could also be used for the limestone ballast FEC used in my period.
Has anyone used this before for ballast? If so how does it work, any problems issues? What about for scenery?
Thank you
Bill Michael
A wooden shed - under construction
I would like to write about a wood shed which I built some times ago after I have seen Pelsea's descrition of construction of a sawmill - see http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/24663. I found a lot of analogies of his building and its construction to that what I built and so I will like to present my model work.
This is the result ...

Best way to build Walther's Modern Fire Escape
Hey modelers,
I'd like to hear from someone that has built Walthers modern fire escape in the zig zag pattern. I am having a difficult time keeping the ladders at the correct angle, keeping the ladders in line with the platforms, the platforms level with the ground and then being able to glue them together. The instructions are super minimalist, and not much help. Has anyone had success on this. I have searched the internet with no luck.
Appreciate your help.
Krylon H2O Latex spray paint
Has anyone had any luck finding this paint? It was recommended by Joe in his tree making chapter from his video series. It seems like it's been discontinued.
If that's the case, does anybody know of a similar alternative? That is, a water-based spray paint either latex or acrylic.

Materials suggestion?
Hi all,
Im making a version of a building for my layout, and I've run in to a snag in terms of what material to use to simulate the finish on the outside of the building.
From what i can see on google streetview, the building has some sort of very fine corrugation on it
My first module - Laying the track
Next it is time to lay my first piece of track.
First I carefully ran a fine bead of Barge Cement along the track ties on the bridge and the underside of the rails, then I had to wait 20 minutes for it to dry.

Brick styrene sheets
Hey all. Need some suggestions on who has the best brick sheet styrene for HO. Evergreen has everything but brick. Need to start planning my scratch building for the Goose island layout and 99% of the buildings are brick.
Suggestions?
