I’m getting WAY ahead of myself as I’m in the track laying phase and not scenery construction, but I’ve been thinking about an approach to modeling power lines. Specifically, modeling power lines that hang realistically. I’ll need to model power lines on my layout and I want the actual lines to hang like the real thing – not dead straight like many applications I’ve seen by other modelers. 

I know a few modelers have used microscope slide glass to replicate glass in structures and on locomotives.I would like to use slide glass on my Snow Dozer build but I've never used the stuff before My questions are;
Where do you find it?
Are there different thicknesses available?
How do you cut it?
What sizes are available?

Hi, New to this site. I have two 3 way turnouts and have looked into switching them with a selector switch. I have seen them designed with diodes. I set out to see if I could do one without diodes. I found a 3 position 4 pole compact switch on eBay for $4.00 ea. Here is the diagram for it.

It has been a while my first post (5-16) regarding West Linncott on my pike:

I can now say most of the "heavy" work is done.  Since then, all the structures have been placed, involving quite a bit of kit-bashing and scratching.  I took a locomotive and a few cars down there, we can walk around and have a look in the following post.
