I agree that close is good enough.
Thanks for the tip on the purple paint. I'll look for it the next time I'm in Wally World.
I havent tried to open the opioid cars yet, but it will soon be necessary. I'll remember abouit triming the bulkheads, I hope!
Thanks again.

Thank you Kevin. The late Carl Arendt was a prolific builder and supporter of micro layouts. He defined them as the following:
"Micro layouts are small model railroads, usually less than three or four square feet in area, that nonetheless have a clear purpose and excellent operating capability. "
Think of it as an operating diorama that allows operations, like switching cars in and out of an industry. If you do a Google search for micro model railways you will find several excellent examples.
I enjoy building them since I do not have the space to build a large layout.

There are forums for micro layouts. Mostly European. shane
