THANK YOU, Mr. Cubbin!
Another great 'how to'!
Always helpful!

Now... I just need to ask you about building a diorama for me for all my custom locos and rolling stock from Gerd and Hien.

Nice article John.

Is the next installment on making the ballast look right when making the transition?

Also, for sources of W/D sandpaper: you can get really fine grits (I've found up to 1500 at NAPA and heard of 3000) at your local auto parts store in the paint and body section. But for 400-600 a local hardware store should have that on hand.

Jeremy

Micro Mark used to have some 1500G on flexible foam pads.

Lee Valley rocks! In the wood working community Lee Valley is very highly respected. Their customer service has an excellent reputation. I always hope for something from Lee Valley for Christmas.
