Super Elevation Questions
I've never built a layout with super-elevated curves, but after seeing some really cool pictures taken on layouts that have them, I'd like to give it a try.
Some questions:
1) How much do you super-elevate the curves? I'm planning on using 1/32" thick basswood for the super-elevation at the outside end of the ties. That would amount to about 3 scale inches in HO. Is that too much? Or is that too little to make it worth the work?
Rivets, I need Rivets!!
Hello All,
I'm working on the Artesania Latina, Powell St, San Francisco Cable Car kit! Aside from the many mistakes, and lack of detailed information in the instructions, its coming along fine! Definitely an advanced modelers kit!!!
The manufacturer had provided small brass, 1.0 mm x 5.0 mm nails, with a large flat head, to resemble brass rivets. But, they wont mushroom down like they should, to do the job. I'm using a small upholsterers hammer and a steel anvil, but the nails, just want to bend over.
