Good Morning! What a miserable day outside! Lots of [st] and [um] - best to stay inside! Flo, it´s too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so I will just settle with some coffee. I´ll be staying at the RC to see who will be joining me. I had one of this "Duh" - moments this morning. Yesterday I tried to get that cobble stone texture integrated into the track plan. So I fired up WinRail and actually drew the texture, which finally amounted to some 5,000 shapes - too much for my old `puter to handle. I wasn´t really happy with the looks of it, either. This morning I tried a different approach. A web search resulted in a picture of a cobblestone street, which I copied, cut and assembled into the size I need for my layout. Instead of some 5,000 shapes, all I had to do was to integrate one (!) shape into the plan. The result is very pleasing. Did the same with the water in the harbor basin. <a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurGn15GleisplanAlternative_zpscb7e07f7.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/SWOKSpurGn15GleisplanAlternative_zpscb7e07f7.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> All I need now to get started on the layout is a 2´by 4`sheet of 9mm plywood... Make it a great day (I like that statement each morning, Galaxy)!
