Scenery - Structures
Resistance soldering equipment - recommendations wanted
This week I've seen 2 or 3 discussions that bring up resistance soldering... so, having been interested in upping my game, I want to ask those experienced modelers out there...
What equipment would be a minimum to get satisfactory results in this hobby... realizing I will likely do rail-weight assembly, oat the heaviest. (I have a wire-weight handrail project to start with.)
What I Haven't Been Doing This Week
It sure is great when you have a family member that is fully capable & interested in doing the one thing for your layout that you aren’t really capable of doing. I am not a background scenery painter by any means but my newest daughter-in-law certainly is. The video shows just the first two afternoons of her work of which I am most appreciative
Building a trestle
I had enough working on electrical and switched gears to my big trestle. A few commercially built bents, some of my own, basswood, balsa wood, glue, imagination a few days and the scene is coming to life.
Need a science fiction style business name
I'm looking for a tongue-in-cheek business name for my layout.
I've been collecting HO automobiles for quite some time and have a nice population on the layout. Recently I've been careful to pick models that are older than 1970 or so to keep with my chosen era. However in the past I haven't been very diligent and have a dozen of so autos that are later than 1970.
What to do with them? I envision a car sales business with the tag line "Why wait? Buy your future car now!".
Container Crane, scaleOO 1/76, almost HO
I was looking thru the internet for container cranes and found this rather interesting one. Its described as a Bachmann (European one I believe), 44-0009 Container Terminal Crane by Bachmann in OO scale. Pretty neat.

Static King applicator question
Just got a new Woodland scenics Static King grass applicator. Noticed a number of differences between this unit and other vendors as seen on the web. The spreading grid on the bottom of the hopper is plastic, not metal. The electrification is a crown-shaped piece at the top of the hopper.
Animated / Lighted Signalman Figure
Somewhere in the past (and I believe it came from a old Model Railroader Magazine) I once saw an ad or an announcement for a signalman figure that had a swinging arm with a lighted lantern in his hand.? Does anyone else recall such a figure??
Can't recall the scale. It might have even been a Lionel product.
I can't find anything on such a figure even with google. Just wondering if my memory is playing tricks on me.
Wigwag Willie or something like that ??
