Since the old topic of the same name was no-longer useful because of URL changes in the new forum, I thought I’d put a new one with working URLs on.[:D] I’ll put in URLs leading to some of the original topics, and possibly some new ones.[:D]
And my very own way of slowing down diesels made by Mehano.[:D] http://www.trains.com/TRC/CS/forums/718310/ShowPost.aspx
NOTE: I found out recently that doing this will make the engine a little noisier, but it’ll at least be slower.
Remember, next time you see a widely useful thread, you can post a URL here.[:D]
It’s been about 2 months since I started this topic, and it seems it hasn’t worked out like I’d hoped. Maybe it just needs a kick start, so I’ll add another link.
Agro’s origininal “Compilation” was kept alive by several of its participants “editing” earlier posts to bump it back to the top of the forum at regular intervals to help eliminate the constant repetition of identical questions, and to give both new and experienced modelers a place to find “answers” more easily. Darth a big thank you for your efforts to keep a needed “index” of good information available. Now some of us can keep it alive for the benefit of the forum. A page 8 rescue! How quickly the topics roll in !
Jon Grant shared some of his weathering techniques using acrylic paints as washes and dry brushing. You can find his post at Topic # 916813.
Hmmm… New forum format does not work quite like the old one, in which an “edit” moved the topic back to the top of the forum index. This topic may grow long with “Bumps”.
Agro, how quickly Fame fades eh?! Our short 15 minutes on the stage and off to the catacombs, publish or perish. Most assuredly not a “One Hit Wonder”!
Ed On30 is
“O” scale,
“n” narrow gauge,
“30” inches between the rails.
Hope that helps. You also may want to look into narrow gauge railroads. Lots of links on my website about them
The “U K Wizard”, Jon Grant shares some weathering techniques using acrylic paint for washs and dry brushing, with a promise of some weathering powders as this topic works to completion. Enjoy!
It seems that I may be the only one to be interested in keeping this alive (see my post from page 60 of the forum over a month and a half ago above). Be that as it may, someone found and old tutorial by Grande Man on producing aspen trees that might be of interest to some of the new members of the forum, as well as some of those who have been here for a while.
P.S. If you find some useful material add it to this compilation as a reference for others, if we add things often enough this will not be buried 60 pages deep into the forum!
