Modeling topic
Tank cars from the 1960s
There is a great thread about modern tank cars here http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/12090 It details a lot of the current cars and HazMat issues.
However I'm modeling an earlier, less complicated time. My HO layout is set in early 1962 and my Fn3 is in the Depression Era.
One of my industries on the HO layout is an Union Oil LPG refinery. I'm casting about for cars or info about them to service this fella! It was interesting, as it was down a single spur, so involved a flying switch to get the empties in without trapping the loco.
New website with free track plans and layout designs
Hello all :)
There is a new website for collect together model train track plans and layouts in all scales and sizes, designed with SCARM planning software:
Tip: Glue application bottle for applying thinned white glue
I thought that I would share this tip on a bottle that I use to apply thinned (25% glue / 75% water) white glue to ballast. I purchased a squeeze bottle from Hobby Lobby and screwed on an inflation needle used to inflate balls and such. The result is a tip with a very small hole that allows for precise application of the glue without washing away the ballast. With the capacity of the bottle I don't have to "reload" like when using an eye dropper or pipette. When it's not in use I seal the tip with a tooth pick.
