Salut Matt et compagnie. C’est vraiment très bien ce que vous faites.
DCC Cabinet: Very neat, clean, organized and aesthetically pleasing. Looks very professional.
Question:
In the pictures I did not notice ventilation slots/holes for the DCC system. The group I belong to has a cabinet of sort with ventilation holes/spaces to prevent the DCC (and the power system - ) from overheating when in use. Granted the fan does cool the system but there seem no escape for the warm air and no intake for the cool air in your cabinet that I could see. Does Louis-Marie plan to incorporate this in the future?
Drawers: The drawer are nicely done and they will look great once finish with cars in them. This is a good way to keep things orgnaized, and to protect all the various rolling stock.
Question:
For detail cars and locomotive what do you plan to do? I know how fragile all those exquisite details can be, and manipulating them increase the chance of braking them. Do you plan to leave the loco in staging then?
Floral foam: Floral foam, depending where you live, can be a good and cheap alternative for scenery base. I prefer foam over any other medium for scenery construction myself.
Question:
I recall a while ago that floral foam can actually dry up. I squeezed a piece of it and it crumpled in my hand! What do you plane to do to prevent this?
I imagine it depends on what you put “on top” - plaster, paint, ground foam etc. –
Thank you for all the pictures. I quite enjoy your club layout and construction. Very well done indeed.
Cheers
Syl
