Photos of 1950's Plywood Manufacturing Plant Buildings

Thu, 2014-02-20 21:05 — Cascade Bob

I model the transition period, 1940's & 1950's in N-scale.  I need to scratch-build or kit-bash a plywood manufacturing plant building of that period.  I've not been successful in finding photos of such plants. 

Can anyone suggest a source of such photos?

Thank you for your help,

Bob

Search Blog

Is there a way to do a word search of the blogs. I am always thinking I read something and want to find it again later but it takes forever to go through all the blogs to find it.

This is probably right in front of my nose....

Anyone think this stuff might be useful?

Thought this might be an interesting material to experiment with, the thicker stuff seems rigid enough to perhaps play a role in sound control?  They also have a number of other things that might have their uses. http://www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/Kaizen-Foam-p13435.htm

Atlas N Scale SD-24 Problem Solved!

Thu, 2014-02-20 12:45 — Athlon

I need some help.

My Atlas n scale SD-24 (factory equipped DCC) loses power to the front truck intermittently.  The issue just started today.  It's been running fine for months, and I've made no recent changes to my track.

All other locos and rolling stock are running fine on my track.

I took it apart to see what I could see, and all looks good, although this is the first Atlas I've taken apart.  As a matter of fact, the only other engine I've had open was a Kato P42 I put a TCS decoder in.
