  DCC Installations

While I don't think I am klutz, would it make sense to hire a company or someone to install Dcc decoders for me? Any suggestions or aid is appreciated.

  Free Lanced Road
Posted by: Charlie B - 01-07-2009, 11:26 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (5)

I have more or less settled on modeling the PRR (loosely) in the late 40's and early 50's. I have a lot of equipment from that era, but some of the locomotives I have aquired are not logical for Pennsy so I have come up with a freelance that will provide a point of interchange and a place to use some good equipment I don't want to part with.
We don't know which direction this is going, hence the Northern and Southern is born, "Always moving in the right direction".

Hello,

Just found out about this site from a card modeler off of Zealot who showed up at the other cardmodel forum finally!

I've been out of model railroading for some time now other than looking at my models - space, moves, etc. But I enjoyed reading some of the train threads at Zealot until I got sick of all the ads and found papermodelers.com

In trains, most of my stuff is N-gauge, but I like all scales and would like to get some garden equipment in the back yard one of these days. Also, I prefer steam short line and narrow gauge - sold off most of my diesel stuff on eBay a year or so ago.

Just glad to have found this place!

  Peeling Off Realistic Water
Posted by: Cannonball - 01-07-2009, 01:55 AM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - No Replies

I'm currently working on an N scale Terrains For Trains layout and I got the pond a little darker than I wanted it to be.
Ok... A LOT darker. I wanted a light brownish tint to it just to look as if there were some sediment in it and instead it ended up looking like coffee with cream in it. Since the Terrains for Trains layouts are polystyrene instead of the traditional styrofoam and plaster, I'm wondering if I can just peel out the realistic water and start over?
