Thanks Dave, there seems to be a steady earthquake of around 3 going on.[:S]
I’m a die hard Harley guy so I quickly grew attached to the shiney look.[:D]
Somebody uses virgin wood!
Will not find THAT on the Route of the LION!

Only because thats all the lumber store had.[:D]
Last layout went in the fire pit, or most of the lumber anyway.
Dave,
I certainly did; no offense was taken!

Guys any ideas what I can use to protect the inside of the fascia for when I start using a water / glue mix for a fixative for the scenery? Thanks
You can paint the hardboard before you install it. Shellac is also supposed to work.
LION has not used shellac since the second grade.

Another reason that I previously mentioned priming the panels (both sides, and possibly 1 finish coat of choice) before installation. Water from plaster and other scenery work is not that bad for tempered masonite, however MDF, paneling or other plywood needs protection.
Thanks Bob , that makes perfect scence now.
Lynn,
Agree with everyone, definitely no permanent attachment because you always want to have access. I have flowing facia on my C&O, but this was a bit of a trick because my open grid framework is very angular. The first picture shows what I mean and the wood bracket I designed to get the job done.
This is what the other side of this bracket looks like. BTW, I love Robertson screws and use them on my facia–gives me that industrial but finished look. [swg]
Finally, I use this kind of bracket for none-curving parts of my facia.
Love working with wood (amateur furniture maker).
