I'm trying to color the rails on my track with a Woodland Scenic paint pen but on seem to get the side of the rail head and not the web. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to modify the tip of the pen?

MRH: We retitled this thread to make it work better for searches. The old title was too vague.

I am at the point on my layout where it is time to make trees. The modeled season is early November and the setting is central Connecticut. I model the New Haven RR in 1948. I've used a photo backdrop and I would like the trees to match that same look and feel.

Have been following LVRALPH's blog on Baxter's build - Building a FSM Structure from RailRoadKits - and I ordered a kit online back on October 16th - website was functional. Other than an order confirmation email that same day haven't been able to bring up their website or check on the status of my order.

Anybody know if they are having issues with their website and/or business?

Thanks,

Artie

My model railroad is not prototypical. I have already designed my decal sheet using Microsoft PC, not Apple. I know that the custom decaler will want it done in Apple's OS. The last time I used a custom decaler's services was many years ago. I've forgotten his name or the company. However, I think he lived in the state of Michigan. He was a great designer to work with. I'm in need of a dealer that can make decals in 8.5 x 11 sized sheets and is of the water slide type. I need your help.
