Unique subroadbed idea instead of spline

Tue, 2013-08-20 19:13 — edfhinton

As I continue my journey of choices...choices... and more choices leading up to starting construction, I continue to wrack my brain over how I want to do the roadbed.  My old HO layout used plywood covered by 2" foam and built up from there.  Building up the elevations was difficult at best to get uniform.

Adhesives

Tue, 2013-08-20 16:32 — jfortelka

While looking through a back issue of MR (July 1988, I think), I came across an article about different types of adhesives, and it included a great chart of the different types of adhesives and their usage vis-a-vis different types of surfaces, slow vs fast setting, smooth vs porous surfaces, holding ability and some of the brand names.  Has anyone seen an updated version of this chart, or one which is similar?

I also found a reference to a similar article in the April 96 MR, but I don't have that issue.

Servo as Turnout Motor

What started out as an attempt to make up a cheap ‘homemade’ manual turnout machine has evolved into a 2 month course in ‘electronics-for-beginners’ and ‘how to use a soldering iron for dummy’s’.
