There will definitely be static science lab work to do ^,^ I'll also try some anti-static laundry spray.
Aha! Free shipping on the slow boat from China. Then to figure out how to overcome the super static.......
Tiny 'seed beads' aren't particularly spherical, and that would be a whole lot of individually stringing apples.
The particular variety is large, ~10cm. (One our backyard varieties were ~12cm this year!). So ~2mm is indeed the scale I'm looking for. Would...
I want to put O scale apples in my apple trees. Newtown Pippins are a large variety and green (I can spread them out on double sided tape and...
With selected and compressed scenes, we're managing to put a 1,000 mile map into a 8' x 11' L! 2' wide give or take, stretching across the tops...
Well, the mines in Moria were tapped out during the Third Age. But now at the dawn of the Fifth Age, it's economically viable to cull through the...
We do have the Asiatic accounted for, but not appearing by rail on the layout — The Rhûn Steamship Company has a warehouse at Laketown! The River...
Just ordered a pair of the Athearn Moguls at a really good price on Amazon. It will be easy enough to raise the coal bunker to make room for a...
No pictures yet, but we're doing another burst of modelling this month. After many years of planning, testing, structure building, etc. the goal...
Ooh, the Athearn Mogul looks like it will work great, and low profile wheels, yay! The haul up to the Goblin Gate Tunnel on Caradhras does hit...
Good to know on the Atlas Mogul. We're actually doing a fantasy railroad — the early steam age of Middle Earth, so we have a lot of leeway in...
Thanks for testing that out, that's very helpful info. Grr, Atlas did it again — I'm still bitter that they made a Shay that couldn't make...
I just saw the new Atlas American at the Amherst show the other week. Was delighted to see one that can ride on code 55! Can anyone comment if...
For years we've been doing track planning, building models, and making benchwork. Now, we're finally approaching actually laying down some track!...
Oh yes, you can install sound decoders in N scale large locomotives. We're using small steamers. A 2-4-0 American is a large piece of equipment...
I'm quite happy with N gauge, but am definitely jealous that the small locos we use don't have room for DCC speakers on board.
For interactive graffiti, there's also construction site fences. This idea was my contribution to Carl Arendt's book, 52 Micro Layouts You Can...
Try the .005 Micron Art pens. We model early steamers and so haven't done graffitti, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them for that. Here are...
Sharpies on plastic can run. And will run if you spray on any Dullcote or varnish! The best pens to use are ones with archival quality ink,...
