I may be getting close to creating the water for my layout, a task I've put off many years. The water I will have on my layout is for a carfloat and it's dock....
Either will work, assuming that you want your fascia to cover this area. The first option would certainly be less work. But remember that you need to ...
Joe: I once saw a fabulous end-of-water "underwater" scene with fish, lines, lures, underwater vegetation/debris, etc. It completely blew me away. THAT...

Greetings; I was wondering if you could point me to a good track planning software for the Apple iMac running Leopard OS. Most of the ones that I have looked...
Look at Empire Express 2.0 from Haddon Software ( http://www.haddonsoftware.com ). I have used it on PPC and Intel machines, and currently OS X 10.5. I find...
Joe, I installed the fascia first. The top pf the fascia was flush with the bottom of the water. Next I applied a 1" strip of masking tape. I allowed 1/2" of...
It sounds like you plan to use resin for your harbor. At the Philadelphia NMRA convention, Noll Horan, MMR gave a clinic about lakes and harbor scenes where...
Yep - I use Empire Express too - version 2.0.1 which has a number of nice enhancements over 1.6.1. It's reasonably priced, and works great for basic track...
Thanks for the informative replies. Got a question on Jack B's reply - I was under the impression that with any of the epoxy or resin based water making...
Hello, Ron: Is there somewhere we can read or see the demonstration? Is there somewhere we could see an application of the technique? If it is possible to not...
... I don't recall what I used as a dam but it may well have been masking tape as Doug mentions. There will be very little pressure against the tape since you...
As an aside (sort of off topic), can anyone recommend a basic, inexpensive 2D (or 3D) drawing program for the Mac? Thanks, Tim Calderwood ... [Non-text...
Joe, The masking tape dam pulls off very easily and the water will be flush with the fascia. I always use Envirotex. The first pour always includes Floquil...
... For some values of inexpensive, there's now a version of Turbocad for OS X; it does much of what Autocad does but costs only around $120 US for the...
Bill, I use RailModeller for the Mac (www.railmodeller.com). Very powerful and intuitive with lots of track libraries. It's $39.00 with free upgrades...
I know of no place Noll has published his clinic. I saw it in person at the NMRA convention where he gave a clinic. But, if you live near a Home Depot or a...
... At the club, a member made a river using a sheet of clear perspex suspended over the painted river bottom with another piece for the fascia. I do not...
Hi, Joe- I use Envirotex, and dam it with clear packing tape. It seems to seal well, removes easily, and has the advantage of being transparent so you can see...
BACKGROUND Last year I built 4x8 HO setup for my daughter. It's a single loop with three spurs (see http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ldsig/photos/view/c41c?b=2...
I use Envirotex for some of the streams on my Siskiyou Line layout, and I've just used a masking tape dam at the fascia. Here's a link to a post on my web site...
It looks like a nice long mainline run, which is good. I'd check the S curves and make sure they're separated by tangents at least as long as your longest car...
Does anyone know if this company plans to run more prints of their backdrops? Some of them have been unavailable for years. Do they have their own web site? ...
Yes, t's a removable 2 track bridge, I sketched some ideas on how to make it with hardwood edges for reliable (ie non sloppy) repeat fitting and a wiring...
Bill, I am guessing that your iMac has the Intel Core 2 processor. If that is the case, you can use the Boot Camp software that is included with Leopard to...
I just found this quite by accident. http://www.illinoishistory.gov/ps/construct_mainstreet_stein.htm These are HO scale paper building models based on various...
Joe: A suggestion: I have a 2 inch high wooden fascia around my layout to prevent my N scale engines from falling off. At one end I am modeling a river which...
I'm planning a layout that will feature a large paper mill. I can replicate the 2 yards that the BNSF and UP use in real life to supply cars to the mill, but...
... From: <ppfoten211@...> ... Why don't you make the yards staging, forget the yards and model the mill tracks? If you can't spot anything at the mill...
