I use the same stuff Jeff does. Works great. Doc

Welcome to the Gauge! Seems like we're of a similar mind. Here's a progress pic of the BAD Western. I look forward to seeing your pics. Doc

Here's a pic of a trestle kit (the one in the back) that may work for you. I think the max span is 24", but you could probabaly stretch it a bit if you wanted to by scratch-adding more stringers and one more bent. I've seen what appears to be the same kit on ebay under different names. I think...

Remember this thread? http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=22221 We'll, you prayers worked. Got the word last night that my daughter's most recent tests showed "no evidence of disease". I guess this is doctor speak for they can't find any cancer, at least for now, maybe forever...

Nah, that wouldn't be fair to Mrs. Doc. We just bought a time share in Cabo San Jose so think we'll spend a week there as well. Doc

Not anymore:thumb: I'm finaly done and e-filed. Must have made mistake cause I'm getting a BIG state refund, first time in years.bounce7 Looks like Arnold's gonna have to write me a check. I see an expansion of the BAD Western pulling fleet in the near future. BTW Gary, great...

Anybody else like me still doing their taxes? Come on, be honest. Doc

I just glued Atlas flex trak with plastic ties to a wooden trestle using Liquid Nails for Projects. I dabbed a very thin layer on the underside of the ties and then clamped it to the trestle top plate stringers overnight. Worked great.:thumb:

I used a heavy black india ink wash on both the trestles in my pic above. For the smaller pile trestle, I brushed several coats over the raw wood and let it dry. THe larger trestle is plastic. I painted a light coat of flat white first, let it dry and then applied several varying coats of...

Thanks for the info Glen. Here's a poor pic of what I'm talking about. The bent trestle in the background is similar to the style of yours, although I elected to have it sit right on the rocky ground instead of on raised foundations. I built the trestle first, then rough formed the ground...

You can buy corrugated tin sheets in HO, don't know about N scale. I've also seen folks use ribbon cable from scrapped computers to model corrugated tin. As for cardboard, check out this site. I've used his technique to age plastic, don't know why it wouldn't work on cardboard if you sealed...

Good looking trestle Glen! I've got the same request Gus has. Show us how you set the foundations. I'm currently trying to plant a very similar trestle and am having a dickens of a time gettting the ground to just the right elevation under the trestle bent bottom beam. I've also just...

Not finding too much time these days. Here's a couple of recent things I'm working on. It's kinda hard to see in the pic, but the mine goes on forever thanks to a mirror at the end. Doc

I agree its a great idea, only I'm trying to build one to run on my Old West layout. I've searched high and low and can't find any one that makes an HO scale Delorean. I finally bought a Lamborgini at Walmart to try to bash it. It's the closest I've seen, body style wise. I do seem to recall...

Personally, I'd use the Atlas Super Saw. I use mine for everything, wood, plastic, track. I even used it for some oak florring I was installing and needed a precise cut. I wish I ordered a dozen. Becareful with other razor saws. I bought on at my LHS that had two very thin blades...

Nice work Will:thumb:

Correct! You must a gone to one of them there fancy east coast colleges.sign1 Doc

Here's a pic. In my day we called them school marm, known today as a teacher. And, no, the answer isn't 1. Doc

Ok, try this one. A school marm is as old as a cowboy will be when the school marm is twice the age that the cowboy was when the school marm's age was half the sum of their present ages. What are their ages? Doc
