DPM KITS poly....resin problems
|
|
Posted by hairball On 10/16/2019 At 8:31:11 PM

was reading somewhere that the DPM kits made of polyurethane/resin walls have a tendency for warpage.
Never having worked with it before was wondering what is best glue to use.
If there is warpage whats the method of straightening it out, heat plus weight ?
What about 3/16" wood or aluminum glued to the wall as a stiffener if a lot of warpage.
thanks for any insight

Is there a standard height for a rail loading dock? Looks to me like it's about 4' above rail height.

Hi all!
I'm building my layout again after the summer months.
The town of Holy cross on my HOn3 layout is slowly taking shape.
But, I realised that the station took up too much real estate.
I therefore decided to move it to the Isle side of the rails.
The space was a bit narrow though. So, I decided to cut the building in half lengthwise. 
That makes it possible to see the interior of it and make it a bit of a show point.
The starting point was an Atlas station.
I cut it in half and used the remaining pieces to make the interior walls.
The cut was painted red to highlight it.
What do you think?

Another Stone in the Wall

Handmade stacked stone retaining wall in HO scale. This was a couple evening's tedious work, using tweezers and super glue gel. I had a sandwich baggie full of suitable pieces - but the time was spent fitting them together like a jigsaw puzzle. They should to be flat on the bottom and top, for the most part. Some were close enough.
I'm building a large (i.e. tall) scenic diorama, and the more I looked at the Chooch wall(s) I have, the less random they seemed. I want that Furlow and Olson look, as if the wall was built from the rock in the area. Not nice blocks brought in by rail. I think I'm quite pleased with the results.

Mexican style roof tiles. Not sure I have ever seen it discussed anywhere.
Am working in O scale, any ideas on how to construct those 1/2 round clay roof tiles.
thank you

There is some really impressive modeling on this site, and it seems like a really nice community as well.

Really good site, I found you "by accident" last night through a UK forum. I have completed my registration form and await a reply. Regards Nigel.

I'm hoping someone here remembers a train/rr chat site back in Oct-2000, looking for a member using "mongoose" as a username. At that time, he was with the FRA and living in Columbus, Ohio. Heard he moved to either PA or Md but still with FRA.
The site was changing to a "paid subscription" and that's when I decided to end it.
