I'm a little behind in my reading, and I just read the January MRH Online News.  The first story announced the passing of John Glaab.

I did not know John, but many years ago I visited Cass, WV and rode the Cass Scenic Railroad.  I enjoyed the visit and decided to model my town of Ashley Creek after Cass.  John released an excellent kit of the Doctor's House in Cass, and I purchased one.  I didn't have a layout at the time, but I knew when I started building, I wanted to include that kit.

Hey everyone, here's the February update for my little shelf layout. Thanks for taking a look!

Stay safe and be well,

Sean

Quick summation for those who are thinking of getting involved in 3D printing for model railroading: Resin printers (see the Anycubic Photon that has been at the top of the board for the last few days) do fantastic detail on small parts. FDM printers (nozzles shooting warm plastic), by comparison, are usually meant for larger projects and prototyping (think brackets for equipment or buildings). While FDM's are generally cheaper to buy and run than resin, and the maintenance is less, they do sacrifice fine quality compared to the resin printers.

I am in the process of making trees for my layout. I am using Woodland Scenics metal tree armatures and Woodland Scenics clump foliage material. First I applied Hob-e-tac glue to the tree armatures and let it dry until it turns clear as recommended, then I apply the clump foliage material making sure that it adheres to the glue. The trouble that I am having is that the foliage material begins falling off in small pieces after a few days as if the tree was losing its foliage in the fall time. My question is, has anyone experienced a similar situation, and if so what the remedy was?
