I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy modeling techniques that also return good results. For a current structure build, I wanted the "original" lower story to be made from old, plastered adobe. I could have cast the walls in Hydrocal or even carved them out of foam, but while looking around my work bench to see what was handy, I stumbled across the idea of simulating the adobe walls with Illustration board. 

Hi All,

Just a quick question, I have just replaced 10 Atlas #6 custom-line turnouts and 10 Snap relays and together they are working fine through DPDT toggle switches.

Hi all.

I have been scratch building some sort of a feed mill, based on Tom Johnson's INRAIL one(with his permission, of course).

There's still much to be done, but things are going the way I want to.

What do you think?

Best wishes.

I have a preliminary plan for the left side of the new layout which will start construction in January. I would appreciate comments and suggestions once you have viewed and thought about lit.
