Modeling general discussion
Scale change sanity check
First off I know this topic comes up in nausea, let me add to the funk.
a quick run down is that I've been collecting in N scale for about a decade now, main reason was to be able to model large industry (steel) in a reasonable space. The center piece of my dream layout is to be a large steel mill. Currently I am heavily kit bashing the 1st of 3 blast furnaces....
Modeling from reality
Doug had an excellent point in another thread: let's base our modeling on reality, rather than tradition.
Interpret and portray it however you wish, and be aware of your choices.
I'll add that this includes making an independent judgement about scenery materials and other products labelled for specific scales.
Attention Randy Decker
Randy, nice conversation, enjoyed our phone chat. Since we talked about some of your present projects regarding your tribute layout I thought I would share this with you.

How to laser cut a "bricks on edge" window opening
I've wanted to build my childhood home for years and was hoping to have it laser cut by a good friend with a laser. A problem area is at the bottom of the window ledge where the bricks are on edge and slightly slanted downward. Is there a way to do this? I guess separate pieces could be made for those edge on bricks. Any ideas?
Mail order versus hobby store
Retail in the US has been going through a transition for awhile and will continue to for the foreseeable future. There are quite a few mall construction projects that have been put on hold or are in the “rethinking mode” across America, even in this so called great economy. E-commerce has had a major part in this decision making.
