Thanks Ralph-as a matter of fact I already got a PM about them. To tell you the truth,when I saw the diner I wanted to build it. I already had the small building.All I had to do with it was to contour the rear part of the roof so that it fit the diner.When I got the passenger car,the rest was...

Ralph-thanks for the reply.I believe I remember that issue.I think it was one of MR's special issues-GMR or Realistic Layouts.Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it on Tony Koester's layout? Anyway,please feel free to move the thread.As I stated in my post,I'm giving them away or a trade.They...

Here are two of my most recent projects.They were made from stainless steel passenger cars that I got in trade for a bulkhead flatcar that I had made.The one one the left is a diner.The out building is the kitchen.The other is a yard office.I put a platform on the roof so a person could climb up...

Thanks for the replies.I've read a couple of articles in MR where some guys used Post-It notes to mask out lines with good results.The notes have a low tack to them.It was also suggested to dry brush my lines in order to blend in with the weathering on the roadway.So I think this is the way I'll...

Thanks for the replies everyone.I really appreciate it.From what I've read I'll probably opt for a combination of dull coating the weathering and post it notes with drybrush.The roadway has an expansion joint running down the middle so I figure it should be pretty easy to butt the stripes...

Thanks for the replies-I really appreciate it.I'm thinking that I could probably use the same technique to do concrete roads.Bob

Thanks Ralph-I appreciate it.Bob

Here are two weathering projects that I have been working on. The first is a Rix Products early era highway overpass.I base coated it with Floquil concrete,then a coat of Poly Scale aged concrete.For the weathering I used inexpensive craft paint.Rain gray and a medium brown.I mixed approx. 1/3...

Thanks Thanks for the welcome everyone.I appreciate it. I plan on exploring this forum for a while.Get a feel for it.I usually don't post much-one too many negative experiences in the past but that could change if this is the place to be.Well as I said time to explore so I see you all...
