Road markings

Wed, 2013-10-09 14:05 — michaelrose55

I understand that the US used white road markings from the mid 50s to the mid 70s. What I do not know is

  1. how thick were these lines?
  2. on a broken center line, how long were the line segments, how long were the breaks?

I'm not even close to having roads on my layout but I'm trying to be prepared when I get there.

Slow progress but progress nonetheless; more details will follow as I find enhancements in the boxes holding all the stuff "rescued" from the old layout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FSM MacKenzie Milling Company - Need Instructions

Mon, 2013-10-07 14:17 — JerryRGS

I bought an FSM MacKenzie Milling Company kit. It has no instructions but the rest of the kit is complete. I was able to get the kit cheaper because the instructions are missing.

Does anyone you has already built the kit have a set of instructions for the MacKenzie Milling Company that they will sell me?

Or would someone be willing to copy the instructions for me if I can’t buy a set of the instructions?

Contact me offlist at jerrybn@gmail.com

Thanks.

Nano Motor use?

Sun, 2013-10-06 13:12 — salty4568

I was browsing this morning and found a site called "SparkFun" with some interesting stuff. They are selling a rotary nanomotor for about $9 .... rotates up to 60 degrees. I was thinking semaphore movement or possibly even switch motor.

I am wondering if you can leave one stalled for a fairly long period of time.

Scale Model Animation 7 – Just for Fun! Smallest Scale Model Animation Ever?

Fri, 2013-10-04 19:10 — geoffb

Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry demonstrates the use of a different type of LED lighting that most people likely have not considered. It also may be the smallest scale model animation ever?

Adhesives and backdrops

Thu, 2013-10-03 15:17 — louismca

Hi Everyone;

I'm working on a new set of backdrops for our club modules. I'm looking for advice on the best adhesive for the 8x10 photos that I want to use on the Masonite I'm using as a backer.

Thanks

Louismca
