They seem to be pretty good smoke generators, at least for a while.
Might be the only way you can get it!
Great tip - think I'll stop by Michael's on the way home tonight. Also speaking of cheap - plain old Elmer's, or the equivalent, works on foam,...
Back to the original question (kind of). If you use the white beady stuff just for the layout surface, not for mountains, etc., what's the...
I'm not into Ntrak, but it seems to me that the 2-1/2" setback/bridge track thing is to allow one module to be easily joined to any other module....
Liquid Nails will work, just be sure to get the kind safe for foam, otherwise it will eat the stuff up ("Liquid Nails for Projects", I think). On...
Gary - I spend my days dealing with real-time embedded software, i.e. trying to get this kind of s**t to work. I definitely don't need it in my...
I agree with Gary, except make that $100.
Question - Does the size of the iron (or at least the "business end" of it) get bigger as the wattage goes up? And if it does, can't it cause...
Armstrong's Track Planning for Realistic Operation has a good explanation of the "bent stick" method for laying out transitions. I highly...
I have used Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty, mixed it up very thin (about the consistency of a thick paint), added a dash of color to the mix, and...
I went to the Owens Corning (Not Dow! - maybe thats part of the problem?) web site (http://www.owenscorning.com). They make the Foamular brand...
You might try building a few simple structures, from kits or scratch, with bases so you can move them around as well. Also maybe you can keep one...
Might be better to go to a Menard's/Home Depot/Lowe's and get the pink or blue foam that's used for insulation.
Watash's description of an easement will only get you an approximation. Actually there are no sections of the same radius, rather the radius...
Probably not a water-soluable glue like Elmer's. Maybe one of the Liquid Nails products? I'm not sure because I've never tried to glue down wet...
You might try soaking the roadbed in hot water before bending it. (You'll have to use glue that can secure the wet cork!)
Don't know about this forum but at The Gauge it seems that there has been a ton of new registrants. I'd bet that's the case here, but how can...
The two tracks at the top of the drawing are: 1) A long reach from the bottom edge (2-1/2 to 3 ft., if the squares are 1 ft), 2) Not accessible...
Depending on what kind of glue you used on the roadbed, you can also put water-soaked towels or whatever over it for awhile to help loosen things up.
