When "scale size" doesn't look right

Sun, 2015-03-29 08:32 — rickwade

My recent visit from my good modeler friend Michael Rose reminded me of issues concerning scale - and when sometime the correct scale doesn't look correct. Michael had commented on my trees being too small in relationship to my loco. He nailed it when he noted that I had my trees small at the back of the layout to help with the transition between the actual scenery and the backdrop picture.

Using a photo and giving credit

Sat, 2015-03-28 08:22 — Free-Mo Tim

Greetings all,

I have a digital copy of a photo that I'd like to use for a blog posting. The photo was given to me by an employee of the company in the picture, however, the company didn't commision the picture. How can I properly use the picture to share with this community?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Cars restricted from interchange

Tue, 2015-03-24 06:16 — Chuck P

I'm not having much luck finding information on stenciling for cars that are restricted from interchange. I recall something like an R or "not leaving the home road" stenciling on the car sides, usually near the numbers.

Does anyone have any good examples of this lettering? Thanks.

I;m working in the late 1920's, and would love to have some military behicles on a flat car--but everything in HO that I've found is of a later vintage. Has anyone seen anything that could be used in 1920's USA in the way of military macheinery?
