Cutting Plano stainless grills

Tue, 2016-08-02 04:52 — Chuck P

I have a sheet of Plano stainless steel grill that I need to cut. What is the best tool for this? Plano didn't have anything on their site. An X-Acto knife? Scissors? 

I'm making long strips. Thanks.

I started this new topic as an off-shoot from my previous topic located at http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/26350?page=2

I've been trying to come up with an idea, concept, and trackplan for a proto-freelanced layout for a 10'x12' (8'x12' useable due to a closet and a door/opening along the one wall) and I've finally come up wit a name for the railroad!

Ambroid Caboose build

I got a vintage Ambroid Outside Braced Caboose kit a few weeks ago, and started braving the project.  It will be an intermittent thing, spaced among other projects, as I don’t need the caboose in a hurry—but I got it at a great price—under $10.

Design Challenge: Track Tester for DCC

Mon, 2016-08-01 14:28 — pierre52

Having commenced track laying on my new DCC layout I know I will need  something to test the track wiring  (Yes I know about the Quarter test and I know I could use my multi meter but I have something a bit different in mind).  I also know about commercial products such as the RRampMeter but I wish to keep this relatively simple and home brewed.

N Scale Bachmann and Atlas track

Sun, 2016-07-31 16:56 — swannert

I have a large amount of Atlas code 80 track and Bachmann EZ track. Is Bachmann EZ track code 80? If so, how difficult would it be to incorporate both types of track into my layout? I would ballast the entire railroad so the EZ track ballast would be covered up and hopefully there would be no noticeable difference.

Thanks

Tim

I sent my radio Pro Cab back to NCE about 2 weeks ago, I had broken the antenna off. When I got home from vacation on Saturday, there was a box from NCE waiting for me. Throttle fixed, no charge.

 

Thanks NCE
