LaMesa Model RR Club ATSF Ice Deck Progress

Thu, 2015-07-16 16:02 — mikecartabiano

I've completed 54" of the North Ice Deck for the Bakersfield Yard. Have another 66" to go. I've finished casting all the parts in resin using RTV molds. This deck will ice 38, 40' reefers. After the North Deck is done, I start on the South Deck. This is only 7' long but needs all new patterns as its narrower than the north deck. Each deck will gets an ice machine that ran the length of the decks.

Large HO air tank for a compressor

Thu, 2015-07-16 07:48 — Chuck P

I'm looking for ideas on modeling a vertical tank for air storage. Something in the 8-12' range, HO scale.

 I'm not having much luck and may have to scratchbuild. Not much luck finding plans either. I can find horizontal tanks for use on small sized compressors, like in a shop.

Is it true that air tanks typically have a rounded end? Can they be welded seams or no welds?

Thanks.

Sedum

Wed, 2015-07-15 14:57 — mrfecteau

Hello all,

I am starting a new layout and track laying will begin shortly. I am starting to collect scenery elements for my layout which is set in New England. I will be making most of my trees and know that Sedum is popular. There are a number of varieties of Sedum and I was wondering 1. if anyone knows which variety is the common that I see in videos as I have not found any Sedum in the area of the Pacific Northwest that I live or 2.is there anyone who sells dried Sedum ready to make into trees.

Thanks for any help.

Weekly Photo Fun - July 10th to July 16th, 2015 (Dupe thread LOCKED)

Tue, 2015-07-14 12:01 — Jim Pierce

When I retired and set up my N Gauge shelf layout, I knew I wanted to include memories of growing up in Tuckahoe NY and taking the train to Grand Central Terminal. A town set up like Tuckahoe was easy: just have the trains in a cut below street level. But GCT was way too big; so I decided to make a model just to remind me of that great building.

Future of Radical Flats from Kingmill

Sat, 2015-07-11 14:05 — cnwnorthline@ya...

Hi,

I've tried some Googling and searching but can't seem to find any answers (which doesn't mean they aren't out there...).  Apparently Kingmill is done with the radical flats line and they've sold everything to a new company.  (Check out their website: http://www.kingmill.com/) Does anybody know who (if anybody) will be producing these kits in the future?

Thanks!
