Milwaukee, Racine & Troy HO scale steel cupola caboose - road name 1407
Don’t miss this exclusive HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy steel cupola caboose.
I only nail my cork down, much easier to remove when it is needed.
That’s what I was thinking.
Hi David, great tip. I wanted to know if you think this method would work with clear resin. I have a logging Sean that I want to sink the track in a small river bed. I think all of are videos are great, please keep up the great work.
At 2:20, which way is the bevel laid down? Does it make any difference?
2:31 His marking on the rightmost end is obscured by the logo. That bit of work would be nice to see as a close up, as is the knife work at 2:39.
14:45 Cement dribbles on adjacent track. When doing potentially messy and time-consuming-to-clean-up operations, should a drop cloth be used for protecting other areas?
I always wanted to learn how to do this , I have tried it in my own way ,no good…
I will have a go at that. Thank you for your Tip. Well done…
You always provide super ideas to keep us going! This one was great.
Thanks
Thank you. Interesting approach, thanks also for mentioning the tip about the plastic connectors for the rail. I have a spur that I will use this approach for.
Nice job David, the concept totally makes sense in doing a siding area, and for that matter a lightly used spur line. I would assume that you lightly sanded the rail heads with some type of abrasive to allow continuity in your connectivity of the line.
Great video. Thanks David. Where can I get one of those spiffy MR bib aprons?
Wouldn't it have been simpler to lay the roadbed and track before putting down the cork. You wouldn't have had to pull it up then,l
Very nice as always Dave , can't wait for the rest of the videos
Awesome
I just did this technique with my scrap yard. You don't need to buy N scale cork for under the track. I used wood popsicle sticks underneath the track. It can be any material that is the correct thickness as it will buried under plaster.
I put the popsicle sticks in place with latex caulk and they were just the right height to keep the rail head 1/16" proud of the adjoining cork.
Great video but you didnt show us what it all looked like when it was all dry…
