@inarticulatequilter @DenverComicGuy it is grass paper and it isn't under the rails themselves. Track has for the most part been ballasted.

I would steer clear of felt as it could get in to the mechanisms of your locomotives and cause no end of problems. Static grass is ok to use.

I need to replace a curved point due to derailments on it. Some quite spectacular.

Resin isn't always easy.

Trying to create custom H0 sized locomotives, and I'm finding that different resins let details and gaps show differently, with different part orientation also being a huge factor.

The most interesting issue so far has been tearing of the model during the UV cure postprocess. Interestingly enough it happened with SirayaTech resin (left), while the generic 3DJake brand (right) didn't suffer that issue at all?

Does anyone have any advice for me?

Got to show off the tornado scene I worked on at a show a couple months back!

The tornado comes down from the clouds and touches down in the town before it goes back up... leaving the nearby trailer park untouched. 😉

It was a huge hit and I'm excited to have gotten it working for the show!

More angles of the large N-gauge train display base.

I used this piece to practice using a fine polymer line for the telegraph wires connecting the poles.
You can just about see them in some angles.

Yes, endlich fliessen die Elektronen so wie ich mir das vorstelle. Sehr low level DIY Belegtmelder kombiniert aus Stromfühler, IR Lichtschranke und OR-Gatter. Jetzt kann ich schlafen gehen.

A long shot, but here goes;
I once made this diorama (photo 1) w/ , when I showed it on Reddit, someone replied that they remembered an old magazine with a very similar diorama on the cover. It was this magazine: Modeler's Resource issue #56 (photo 2). I would love to read the article, but I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone have the magazine and can you scan the article for me?

Boosts are appreciated!

Biden uses , Putin travels by it, Kim Jong-un is an old fan of train. Seems like it is the coolest, trendiest transportation these days. Airplane is so 20th century.

N-gauge train display base (1:160 scale).

Built from scratch and only using a model hut and a section of track.
