The "fake" Diorama
Friends, let me tell you the story of the Fake Diorama
Long long time ago, I've asked a Friend to build me a piece of Board with handlaid Track (one Track abadoned).

Cars with interiors
I have been working on cars that have interiors, specifically cabooses. A caboose is a good candidate to have an interior. They were used in the early part of the last century as a mobile office. They had closets, desks, a stove for heat and a coffee pot. Some had sleeping bunks and a cupola for a better view of the train.

Smart Phone as a Second DCC Throttle
Is there a way to make an Iphone act as a DCC throttle? I have a NCE Pro Cab system.
Thanks,

MDC/Roundhouse Sand & Gravel Hoppers
Hello everyone, I'm looking for instructions for the MDC Sand & Gravel Hoppers. I have five of them in kit form that I picked up some time ago and am finally getting around to building them, but without instructions. The basic car is easy to get together, but putting the small mechanism parts together without instructions is going to be pretty difficult.
If anyone has a sheet of instructions that they could fax, email, or mail to me I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks for any and all help.

The Old Mill Model Tech Studio Background Kit Cast Cornices Bowed
Recently purchase the Model Tech Studio background kit The Old Mill. Have an issue with the 2 cast cornices that come with the kit - they are bowed - probably to the tune of about 1/2 inch. Any ideas on how to make them flat - not sure that glue will keep them flat when assembling them to the wall.
Sketchup Journey
I have several buildings that I will need to scratch build for my HO scale ICRR layout. I have photographed some of them and have thought about how to draw them so that I might have some plans to work with when I begin to scratch build them. That search brought me to Google sketchup.
