I've got a section or two of Unitrack on my workbench that I use to check alignment and "look" of some of my locomotive shells and parts. One...
Please stay on topic. Mike
Been thinking about this since I got my diode laser last fall. Could I use it to make detailed masks for airbrushing? Last month I tried an...
Nice!!! On print times, one thing I do for my drafts is I use a .075 layer height. Once you get the exposure time dialed in (it shouldn't be...
I've been continuing to refine my CF-7 for several weeks (months? years?) and am calling it "done" so I needed to step back and do something new...
Holy cow, nice! I'd love to see this printed on a resin printer and primered up to show off those details. (y) Mike
Looks like a Shapeways print? (the pic of the fully painted tender is the brass model) - Cool find! First time I've seen an n scale one. I found...
It's looking real good there! I like that these printers have gotten better with less failures so that this process can actually be fun. In the...
That was the GE demo paint while the Joes were being evaluated. The MILW Joes were getting their Hiawatha schemes by 1950 so this was short lived.

Ooh, a fiber laser!! I'm interested in seeing what all you can do with it. Be sure to share what you're learning with the general populace over...
I haven't been able to reach either site for over a day. I'm guessing it's localized to certain ISPs because I see people have been posting and I...
I've always wanted to do a camera for my Ender. Failures can be spectacular if not caught early and a camera can help keep a situation from...
Yes & no - the pans did have to be raised but only the EPs had a box in the beginning. The EFs got their pans boxed in ~56/57. Here's an EF pre...
Broadly speaking, if you're modelling the 50's the thing that's going to separate a EP from an EF will be roller bearing trucks on the EPs, the B...
I've seen at least two models of heat tenders on the Milwaukee Road. The one most commonly seen looks to be off of their scrapped Hudsons but I...
I've worked with Jeff (Gowers) on a few 3D print projects I've done - he's probably one of the more "in demand" custom painters out there. Very...
