The roof of the lower building is wet or dry abrasive paper. When the upper part is finished I will attach with Evo-Stik contact adhesive. I will cut away the abrasive paper where the upper building will go to make the adhesive work better.
The first part (original lower part is made of MDF. The upper part just added is styrene. (Ran out of thin MDF).
It comes in 8' x 4' sheets in thicknesses from 2mm to about 30mm. The fascia and the backdrop are cut from 3mm thickness, the buildings are made from the same stuff. I get the shop to cut to 4'x 2' for ease of getting in car! I used 12mm thickness for main baseboards.
Just acquired a brand new Atlas RS3 with factory fitted sound for a snip! I swapped shells, sideframes and fuel tank with my AWR RS3, so now I have a sound equipped Andersley Western locomotive! Does not look any different, but sure sounds better!
Been following this thread Alan. Your doing some great stuff here, really enjoy seeing your overall efforts, as well as industrial buildings, your giving me some ideas too. Thanks
Finally got around to some video of the sound fitted RS3. More to come. [video=youtube_share;nMbrd1u_s_0]http://youtu.be/nMbrd1u_s_0[/video]
Nice looking layout and great work AC. The sound unit is well done. Sure enjoy the great AC rolling stock I got from you. Carl
