I've been spending the last few weeks, off and on, setting up a spot for my photo booth and paint booth. The photo booth is now up and running.

I just got the backdrops printed for my extension room layout. This time I used a high quality vinyl paper that has an adhesive backing.

I just taped it up to the wall, temporarily, to see what it will look like. Once I get the foam layer installed and painted. I also got the backdrop base material. I got some thin mdf cabinet backing from home depot.

Steam powered generator piping

Sat, 2011-08-20 04:45 — Tanblu

Need some help in determining what type of piping I need to add to a steam powered generator. Does the steam come directly up from the boiler or is there a pipe that taps into the steam from someplace else? it seems to me there should be a wire going to the cab also. Tried all type of searches & pictures, even brass models with no success. can anyone help? Thanks.....jerry PS. working on a Mantua Pacific that I hope one day will be a representation of a CRRNJ Blue Comet.
