<p>Afternoon Folks!</p> <p>Taking a break, enjoying a cup of coffee and a slice of that apple pie , which tells me "Eat me!"</p> <p>I´ve been cutting stripwood for endless hours, starting right after lunch. Now there are all sorted and weathered. Better to do that before assembly! Guess how I learned that?</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1070530_zpsf11008b0.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>All these parts will finally end up as the ship´s landing opposite of the depot. A few parts are missing - I will make them as soon as I can get the correct measurements, i.e. after installing most of it.</p> <p>[quote user="yougottawanta"]Ulrich Which scale is this N ? Isn´t that the scale you model ? Were the rails painted gold ? Incredible detail ! How in the world did they get the rail ties to look so realistic or did you do that ?[/quote]</p> <p>YGW - good to see you back in here. The ballast pics are manufacturer´s photos of O scale track (German prototype), handlaid on wooden ties. The rail has been painted golden, for whatever reason. Maybe to show the detail better.</p> <p>I have switched scales, from N to On30, as my eyes are not getting younger. On30 is ideal for me. You get the heft of O scale, yet the space you need is only a little more than HO scale. On30 is really a scratchbuilder´s scale - due to the bigger size of structures, they are easy to make, using el cheapo materials - suits me fine, as my budget is very limited.</p> <p>I´ll stay here at the RC for while, watching the yard goat doing some fine switching.</p>
