DPM N Scale Grout Line Painting Test

Sun, 2021-06-06 08:00 — Jackh

I am looking for an alternative method of painting grout/cement joint lines on brick walls. This is a 1st try on a extra wall piece.

I used a light grey craft paint, spreading it on with a brush and wiped it off with a paint rag picked up at Lowes. It is not a wash cloth texture. Clear spots are from where I pushed down with my finger. I need a bit of a lighter touch.

Anyway looking for good, bad or ok job and or whatever comments you care to make.

Thanks, Jack

Dave if you want to do your small layout ops article we will take it, but don’t expect it to appear any earlier than spring 2022.

That is what I'm here for is good ops articles...

I suggest people subscribe to the OpSig.org Dispatcher's Office.

the entire light ops thing is a joke,   Operations all boils down to a few basic ideas.

Ground cover

Hi everyone,

I'm new to your forum and I'm new to modeling. I've been reading posts about applying static grass and several people mentioned applying ground foam first. What is ground foam? Is there another name for It? I tried searching Amazon for ground foam and got nowhere. I'm more into creating dioramas than model trains, but I thought this was a good place to start. I've watched a lot of YouTube videos on model building, but I haven't found much geared toward the beginners. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Adding speaker to HO Model 40 Critter

Wed, 2021-06-02 08:33 — wbmfishman

I recent purchased an Athearn HO EDM Model 40 critter.  A little gem. Only 11 i believe were built in the early 40's.  Installed an ESU Ver 5 Micro DCC decoder.  I first tried to add sound inside the cab. There was plenty of room for a sugar cube type speaker.  However it was very muted because the cab is sealed and there really are no openings in the frame or grills for sound to emit..
