Hi, There is also a wax-like substance that dollhouse folks use to secure things temporarily. I have a small container of it and it works quite well. Just sticky enough to keep something in place but if you need to remove it it comes off easily. There are also other temporary sticky compounds...

Another take on this Hi all, Interesting reading to say the least. Here's my thought which kind of ties in with enjoying our hobby (and our lives for that matter). IMHO, we're spending way too much money on studies, computer modelling, and having arguments/discussions about whether or not...

Darn, this would have been a great plan to use too (although maybe modified too as you have done), if I had seen it earlier. My own 5' x 2.5' layout is based on the Gorre and Daphetid layout. It's a twice around too, so makes for a nice extended run (especially since almost half of the loop is...

Interior? Do either of these kits include interior pieces (the various vats, etc)? I'm still looking for ideas for my brewery, built from a Walthers Power Station kit. Thanks, :)

This is a great idea! I think it would be most useful if it included many how-to's; while seeing what others have done is neat, learning some of the tricks and inexpensive ways to do animation might be more useful. If the animation is simple, how about creating animated GIF's instead? They take...

Looks great, I like the extra smokestacks and the side addition! This kit is great, as it lends itself to so many uses, not only as a powerplant. BTW, I have the same building that I'm still in the process of painting and then I'll tackle the interior. It's going to be a microbrewery. In case...

It's a 1956, Canadian-built model (essentially a Chevy just with the Pontiac body panels and trim). I also own a 1966 Pontiac, again built in Canada. But back to trains. Even in N-scale I find it hard sometimes to find decent automobiles - the selection is more limited and quality is not as...

Great Idea! Hi, welcome to the Gauge! :wave: I think this is a great idea, combining both N and Z together in a layout, so long as you have enough depth to work with. Putting smaller scale buildings, scenery and even track in the background is what is called forced perspective and makes the...

Fan for scale wind? I like the idea of the ceiling fan to generate scale-size wind. :D The question of course is what speed do you use for N-scale? ;) But seriously your benchwork looks really good and can't wait to see further progress on it. :thumb:

Great list Great list! Wish I had it when I started building my layout as I did a bunch of those don'ts. :( What do you use to control your wiring if staples are not good to use - I've used staples in a few spots and tied up wiring in bunches and hooked them onto cuphooks screwed into the...

Tunnel Finally decided to post my first post - have been reading the forums for several months and am amazed at the modelling skills everyone has. Here's a photo I took a while ago on my N-scale 2.5' x 5' layout. It's still a work in progress but this is one area of the layout I'm quite proud...
