Scenery - Structures

Trying to achieve this look

Sun, 2014-01-05 07:57 — Deemiorgos

I'm trying to match this colour of mud/dirt and look on this track. Any ideas, suggestions or tips would be much appreciated. 

Kit-bash station project.

I'm working on a station.  I gathered pieces from the scrap box, such as misc. and mixed-match wall sections from Walthers and DPM, pieces from a canopy kit from Kibri, and sheet and strip styrene for the roof structures. Here are some pictures of the progress.  It's still "under construction".

Just messing about with my iPhone and iMovie to make this very brief video from my layout...

Brick Floquil Paint

Tue, 2013-12-31 19:24 — UP Daniel

Hello,

 I'm new to MRH and so far it looks like a great site full of information and tips.

What I'm wondering is if anyone has a suggestions on what to use for red brick paint. I'm building a station for a friend, but I can't seem to find any good-looking brick paint. I have some Tamiya flat red paint but that is far too red to look anything like brick.

Narrow gauge on the Texas Western Model Railroad

Tue, 2013-12-31 16:50 — TP Rules

I had promised to show more of the Texas Western Model Railroad layout and this time I will take a trip to Colorado and New Mexico for a little narrow gauge.  The standard gauge interchanged with the narrow gauge at Alamosa and much of the track there is 3-rail as it was in the prototype.

Wet water using soap. which method to use isopropyl alcohol?

Mon, 2013-12-30 16:52 — Roundhousecat

Ok, from what I've read, 2 drops of liquid soap to 1 cup of water makes wet water. dish or laundry soap?

I've read online that some people use isopropyl alcohol mixed with water as well to help with the absorption of glue. what is the mixture ratio for that? 50% of each?

This will be used for landscaping and ballasting.

What works best?

Low road clearance rail bridge. All steel trestle in urban setting?

Mon, 2013-12-30 04:03 — Seepy Creek

I have a spur leading into the side of a brick structure on the first floor which leaves very little clearance for road vehicles delivering to the docks directly below it.

So far I've been messing with, I think, Atlas N scale girders to sit above tie height. I know in country New South Wales they used timber trestles through some towns.
I'm modelling around N/E US in an urban area. Does anyone know of a steel trestle? Just like the timber ones of old, but all steel in a industrial complex?

Sorry for the rambling catch all title but for those who also have Facebook accounts and have an interest in the above modeling subjects. I have the following Facebook group:

It is not limited to rail modeling. In fact most of the people who have joined so far are armor modelers. If you are into that sort of thing swing on by.
