Scenery - Structures
A new increased appreciation for the N scale folks!
I built an N-scale structure for my HO layout to place near the top of my mountain to help with forced perspective. I now realize that I'm spoiled by the "huge" size (in comparison to N-scale) of structures that I've been building in HO! My hat is off to N-scale (and smaller scale) modelers!
Here's the cabin just sitting in place on my landform before I start doing the landscaping.
Static Grass Neg ION Generator from Electronics Goldmine
Hey folks,
I found what looks to be good reasonably priced high output generator for making home grown static grass applicators. I got it for $22 including shipping.

PoLA Paving Proceeds Per Plan
When your layout is mostly paved surfaces, you have to make the pavement look real and interesting. I started the detailing of the pavement on my PoLA project layout. (PoLA = Port of Los Angeles)

My work for today
Hi all.
This was my work for today.
I still want to add some storage silos and a ciclone.
Shrugging Shoulders on the BNML
You may recall, I cut my own roadbed from 6mm closed cell foam.
I was not successful in creating a jig to do this job with slopped shoulders, so at the time, I shrugged my shoulders and decided I would deal with that later. I kinda figured I might use sand or strips of wood or maybe even "ground goop" to shape the shoulders later.

Overhang over tracks
Thinking back to 1960s-80s railroading and clearances, I'm wondering if 22' over the railhead would be too low for a roof. I've realized that one of the places I was considering a building would put the roof overhang just over the track (22' over the railhead). The roof is fairly large and the building itself is far enough away from the tracks. Track is a shortline mainline with mainly 4750-type hopper traffic.
I'm looking for a realistic answer as opposed to "you can do it on your railroad" answer. Thanks.
