    Layout for son and dad

    Well as it turns out, I do not have the skills of Martin on my first attempt. In my opinion, my finished portal isn’t what I am looking for. I will try again!

    I am trying to follow Martin’s video located here. He doesn’t want specifically paint the mortar. https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/blog/47623

    Layout for son and dad

    So here is my initial attempt at making a tunnel portal. It is glued together and I still need to add some joint compound and paint it. I am following MarklinOfSweden’s technique. Sorry for the rotated photo. I’ll see how it turns out before making the second one. I will post updated...

    All glued together except the portals. Still doing some thinking on them. I used latex caulk as the adhesive.

    Thanks. I haven’t done much in the layout until recently. I have operated trains and put together a mantua 2-8-2 from scratch. Here is my 1st attempt at painting rock. A little too brown. I want to go more grey. I think it turned out well though. This is just painted styrofoam. I am going to...

    Arduino ideas, and help

    Where are you getting the 3D printed mounting brackets from? I ordered 20 and needed 14. A few were duds but most worked. Have a few spares. I like the idea of animations.

    Shoulder Bushing - Mantua 4-6-2 or 2-8-2

    Hope you bought extra servos. You will probably need spares. The printed holder may simplify things.

    Shoulder Bushing - Mantua 4-6-2 or 2-8-2

    Wow that’s quite a few of them! I am up to two now! Once I get a bushing, I will have them both working.

    Shoulder Bushing - Mantua 4-6-2 or 2-8-2

    I am looking for a shoulder bushing, part number 6390 in the attached photo. If anyone can hook me up, let me know your price. It is the last part I need to refurbish my childhood locomotive. Thanks...

    True. I was just curious which module you bought. I bought this one and it has the same rfid module. Haven’t played with it though. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01M9CHF1J?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
