I am at the point that I need to think about embedding the tracks inside of the Palmer building and need your advice as I've never done this before.  I want just the rail heads to be visible and look like they are set in the concrete floor.  I've heard of people coating the tracks with plaster or Sculptamold and then rolling a junk car through it while still wet to provide wheel flange clearance.  I've also heard that instead of rolling a car through the wet material that spacers (styrene?) are first put in and then removed just before the material hardens. 

The past few months, I've had no time for modeling due to a lot of "real life" obligations. I'm finally starting to get a little bit of time, and have used it for a couple of upgrade projects on my 1/24th scale In-ko-pah Railroad...

I want to give a big thanks to G1000vista who posted the idea of how to create a shingle roof from brown paper bags. I struggled with several types of roofs and none seemed to work (for me) on this project. I think the brown paper bag trick turned out really good, especially since this is my second "real" attempt at building/weathering a structure. It is my first wooden structure and just had a smooth piece of wood for the roof.
