    Coloring roofing paper?

    Very cool. That stick on paper the kit came with is textureless paper. I'm on the way to the dollar store now! Thankfully, I live in NYC, so there's a dollar store on every block. Thanks for the tip- I think this is going to turn out very well!

    Fourth times the charm right?

    Good thinking with the brackets- wish I'd thought of that before I laid my mountains. If you wad up some newspapers or chart paper under the plastercloth, it will give it a more rocky, mountainous appearance. That will save you some time down the road when you're doing touch-up on it.

    Coloring roofing paper?

    So, I've got two kits I've finished up for my up and coming Albany and Susquehanna: Blair Line's Cash Mine Works, and Martinsburg Coal Company (I don't recall who made it, Blair Line perhaps?) Anyway, the kits are together and both look absolutely amazing. All that's left is a bit more...

    Seems that I've misplaced my HO scale template... can anyone give me a link to a free, easy to use track planning program, if there is one? Thanks!

    Glue for white metal?

    I've been using games workshop superglue for most of my plastic on plastic and plastic on metal gluing with no complaints. But it's just no good at holding metal to metal. What glue do you recommend for putting together white metal kits?

    A small switching module

    Hello everyone, I’m new to this site. Been interested in the hobby for two years now, but I’m still young and spend too much time chasing… jobs… to have really invested a lot of time into a layout. I’ve built a few ‘diorama’ style bits to get the hang of it, and now I really want to put...
