Scenery - Structures
Muddy Creek - A Backdrop on the 8th Sub
The scene above my west end staging helix was crying out for some finish work. So what's happening over there?
Simulation of hot metal in a cast house
My initial blog dates from may 15th and this is a followup showing in a bit more detail how I did it. I also published it on Yahoo Steel Group, but I prefer MRH which is much more simple to do.
I started off by searching for the right led in the smallest size (3.6x2.8 mm). Result: a led with a light emittance of 900 mcd (=Iv), If = 50 mA max and Uf = 2.1 V, yellow. Manufacturer Dominant, SMD led PLCC2.
Layout Animation
Here's a guy that has much animation on his layout. Gives me some ideas. It's all in N scale too. Click on the animation link in his web site.

Best plaster for scenery
Hi all.
I made the mistake of using drywall mud for scenery and, I now know, that was a bad choice. I chose it because it comes premixed but it took forever to dry and now it's got huge cracks and is crumbling. What's a good alternative?
Thanks in advance.

Saving railroad history
I'll just throw this out there because I'm feeling quite pleased with the result. I've recently returned to model railroading after too long an absence. I recently retired and have begun a modest layout; I'm finding I feel an urgent need to accomplish some things before I'm too old to do them.
Black Polyfiber
Does anyone know of a source for black polyfiber? Micro Mart no longer stocks it.

Finally, back to it!
I have finally been able to break away and start a new office layout. Well... more of a display now. But, maybe you all can help? I want to do some rock wall work and things to make it look interesting, but have no idea if there are any prototype examples of track-work that is separated by multiple levels of retaining walls?

Ideas for road bridges
Good evening,
I am looking for ideas on building a couple of road bridges for my late 60’s early 70 HO era layout. I need bridges that will cover both single and double track areas. These bridges would be type of rural 2 lane bridges that were around then and could also double as scenery divider.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
