See what's simmering in and around the Trains.com workshop!
On a former N scale layout, I used clear packing tape on the fascia to dam the river ends and prevent the Envirotex epoxy resin from pouring out onto the floor. It worked surprisingly well with only a little wicking under the tape. No resin spilled, and the tape was easily removed. I’d do this again, if I ever pour a river on a future layout. That said, I since discovered Gel Gloss Medium that I used on my current HO scale layout, so I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to pouring epoxy.
Call me crazy, or just a lazy modeler, but those ISO containers look generator-like, sans muffler.
An enjoyable episode with a lot of information.
Keep up the good work.
How many times have you removed and reapplied the fascia and backdrop on the East Troy layout?
