Workbench helper idea

Thu, 2014-09-18 15:30 — arbe

I have found that a small piece of smooth glazed tile is ideal for dispensing upon small amounts of super glue and other adhesives that are best applied with a small applicator or toothpick. What makes this especially neat is that I let the unused material just dry and the then just a quick swipe of the single edge razor blade makes it clean again for re-use..

Has anyone talked to Kendall from Blue Caboose within the past few months? I have not heard back from him via email since mid-June and want to make sure he is doing ok health-wise. Thanks.

I received my parts for half the concrete slab bridge I'm working on. It's based on a 32' PRR concrete slab bridge. I've crawled all over it and in the mud to take measurements and I'm very happy with the results so far from Shapeways. Everything fits!

Scanners

Does anyone know when or if railroads will be switching to digital broadcasting? In the near future I am planning on purchasing a portable scanner to listen to train broadcast and if I would purchase an analog one; how long it would still be effective.
