I am having trouble getting a good picture but I hope this gives you the idea. I tried pushing the Cricut to its limits by building a door out of 3 layers of cardstock. Thin styrene would be similar. I am a little disappointed in the squareness of the cuts. Serviceable but no replacement for a Grandt Line door. I'll post the pic in the comments.

As everybody is really getting on board with weathering lately, I thought I would share a couple of cars that I have done recently.

I added this car to the list.  As you can see, I am trying oil paints as per the recent MRH article.  This is just the first layer as oils are very slow drying.  The oils I am using are a "value line" at  my local AC Moore and at only $3.99 a tube, it made the initial investment for 4 colors under $20 bucks.  

Hi, newbie here, living  in Scotland (U.K).

Now that I've retired, I'm making a great change in my rail modeling experience...from modeling British and European narrow gauge practice to hopefully modeling South American (Colombian) narrow gauge prototypes,

Scale/gauge is HOn3 (Scale 1:87, track gauge 12 mm).

I can find sources/details for model passenger/freight bogies (trucks), but I cannot find such information for the trucks under locomotive tenders.

I have done quite a few Athearn blue box decoder installs but I really do'nt do sound. A friend asked me to put sound decoders in two units for him and I am looking for a reasonable decoder choice for the alco 244 engine or a generic diesel decoder that would be good for these units. I do'nt want to buy a computer interface to download the sound or other extra costs and if possible I have several of the standard connectors for digitrax and would these fit others? I will also be installing LED lights.

Thanks for your help.
