(as opposed to "Plasticville")... For those of you new to the list, "FNF" stands for "Friday Night Fun", introduced by Andre Ming, IIRC, several years ago, where we share with the group what we accomplished over the past week or so.
My contribution for this week's "Friday Night Fun" is the construction of several foam board-based structure mock-ups. I am trying to model a true prototype, a Pennsy branch line, so most of my structures will be scratchbuilt. To get a feel for what the structures will look like, I decided to use foam board to make some mock-ups. It is really a fun and creative process. There's no "pressure" of wasting a lot of money if you're not happy with the results. This allows for a lot of creativity; it is kind of like doodling in 3D. I am looking forward to doing another six or so structures. This will also help me figure out if the structures get in the way of operating the trains. I have added a page to my web site describing them: http://pmrr.org/Layouts/Chartiers/CanonsburgStructures.htm Have a great weekend, - Peter. -- Peter Vanvliet ([email protected], or [email protected]) Houston, Texas "It is easy to give up; anyone can do that..." http://pmrr.org/ (my model railroad - RSS feed <http://pmrr.org/rss.xml>) http://fourthray.com/ (my company) http://houstonsgaugers.org/ (model railroad club) -- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
