Creating your own Furnace Filter Trees

Summary

On this page I will show from start to finish how I make yet another shared piece of knowledge from my cousin Gene Jones of the L.C.L. R.R.

As I have stated in other pages Model Rail Roading has always been of intrest to me as a child, then again in early adult hood with my oldest son, and now again at an older point and time in life. It has always been a great hobby, but now that I have reconnected with this wonderful hobby at this older point and time in life it not only is a great hobby, but now is like a medicine,It takes your mind away from the rat race of life, If you let your imagination go it is a whole new world one can enter,Your imagination is your only limit.

Using Rubber Cement on a backdrop for an existing

Summary

Taken from an excellent article written by John Thompson, Colorado. The full article on backdropwarehouse.com under INSTALL - Using Rubber Cement on an Existing Layout. Well documented installing a backdrop.

For my Hon3 version of the Rio Grande Southern, I wanted a visually stunning backdrop of Lizard Head for my model of the wye at the summit of Lizard Head Pass. Backdrop Warehouse had exactly what I needed, and after some research, I decided the Rubber Cement method mentioned on the website would work well with the curved backdrop support I had installed. Here’s how I installed the photorealistic backdrop on my railroad.
