The Joplin station track side will have some depth to it, but the hotels will be flats. I will have to get an artist to draw the hotels, as pictures of the back of the hotels are sketchy or non-existent. I plan on mounting the hotel drawings on black foam core to give them some semblance of depth. The total depth, as currently planned, will be about 6", and the length will be somewhat longer the 12", and about 7" tall.

Again, the standard gauge main line is in dark blue. With the exception of this section, the layout could be run as double track, as there are passing sidings the entire length. The 3' gauge track and the sawmill are on the upper portion blocked from this side by trees, lots of trees. Viewing from this side, there is an 18" (Z scale track) mining railroad at zero elevation and it loops under the standard gauge and the sawmill. Also, at the far right, you can see a small red section, that is the 30" gauge railroad that will be hauling the mined product away. What are we mining, maybe unobtanium, maybe Vibranium, maybe?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEielWpU7UEhrdUCY0vI4H7Q7sX1EcXpNJe3Y2Fy6mWjI8IOtclXX4X_ighHjy6KYnoNvHFC3PGsb8p3VdKz-n4dh-iCu8-HHXj_Hn0Iqy5FXDq7QdWfQDidt02_sGIR1wZwrpPgYjcObiuZa0AFdGqtcDFHNtpARSBK7MMlP0sG-lFgk23TcAINYqMzhA/s509/Vibranium%204%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="509" data-original-width="418" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEielWpU7UEhrdUCY0vI4H7Q7sX1EcXpNJe3Y2Fy6mWjI8IOtclXX4X_ighHjy6KYnoNvHFC3PGsb8p3VdKz-n4dh-iCu8-HHXj_Hn0Iqy5FXDq7QdWfQDidt02_sGIR1wZwrpPgYjcObiuZa0AFdGqtcDFHNtpARSBK7MMlP0sG-lFgk23TcAINYqMzhA/w164-h200/Vibranium%204%20(2).JPG" width="164" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1jLu-J4Zel_9UHxM58MKEk2kM_75iqBNftUZkcy_5qPxjoGO1npASOqtnRXi8BbrRNlnAeqi8E1Iw8dHFmgPsnb4gAiziy_yqSYskpFgn0kYMd3BgnTKldNytKSwE2xUhe6K1MeGiE8xyIEtyIc_4jdYbuP6wPfdagMN8CTKVgRNMDFqNpY-WIq0PA/s234/Unobtanium.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="234" data-original-width="211" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1jLu-J4Zel_9UHxM58MKEk2kM_75iqBNftUZkcy_5qPxjoGO1npASOqtnRXi8BbrRNlnAeqi8E1Iw8dHFmgPsnb4gAiziy_yqSYskpFgn0kYMd3BgnTKldNytKSwE2xUhe6K1MeGiE8xyIEtyIc_4jdYbuP6wPfdagMN8CTKVgRNMDFqNpY-WIq0PA/w181-h200/Unobtanium.JPG" width="181" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div>Kent Hurleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17176617119348415587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601557447228343471.post-67030563921145701252022-08-13T18:36:00.001-05:002022-08-14T12:46:34.342-05:00New basement coming in 2022-23, Layout pln<p>Kansas City, Fort Smith & Gulf Railroad, The Splitlog Route</p><p> I am working on basic plans for a new layout, as soon as the new basement is available.

As this is very much a work in progress, siding may be colored or may just be a straight line.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZO-R5eSNowD1ULUvSCJIcO1-U97k9JpAUr8lUQL0b1uDevMen3oeFW6IUxRrvQ0d6JwU_pCF6xdd__X81dii-ng3l97SwBgQ4rrPsOPCD5JcsTWJ4e1pvhhBObl5Lyw9BFDzh0lknfaxlzloA8iHsOYdp31WpWng0ZKiOWKaUXb93oWAHaV9VbmgqA/s1787/KCFS&G%20linear%20track%20plan%208.13.22%20%231%20&%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="1787" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZO-R5eSNowD1ULUvSCJIcO1-U97k9JpAUr8lUQL0b1uDevMen3oeFW6IUxRrvQ0d6JwU_pCF6xdd__X81dii-ng3l97SwBgQ4rrPsOPCD5JcsTWJ4e1pvhhBObl5Lyw9BFDzh0lknfaxlzloA8iHsOYdp31WpWng0ZKiOWKaUXb93oWAHaV9VbmgqA/w640-h208/KCFS&G%20linear%20track%20plan%208.13.22%20%231%20&%202.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>8' of rural to industrial area between KC staging and Joplin.

Sections 13 has the standard gauge mainline running along the east side and the mainline gets back to the center on section 14, The darker green areas is raised several inches and there will be a large on the plateau. How much it will be raised has yet to be determined. The dark orange track is the 3' gauge Trees Unlimited, and runs through the mountains for several sections. The light orange track is the ECH 18" mining line, and I am planning on running it under the mountain, but over the standard gauge mainline. We will see how that works out. The red trackage that starts in section 14 and continues south, is the J&N 30" gauge line hauling the Unobtainium mined by the ECH, and lumber from small mills along the line.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSby6tnIYsjo2EuZGAs6Pz9p4RkrPWqA7niaRBslJb_AN4nfnzWZCt7xOVnLkrvgLSrlp_d2Dkf9HqQliMQnmf8RYZpxQuPPHzV1XS82tVMa7qQounTQYFhF8zO9xOBs7uNFRsLRc_qbNJN3rqGMApzs0mNv1ajj9NqvfAtsjFh5abmFnFxetzQYsNQ/s1789/KCFS&G%20linear%20track%20plan%208.13.22%20%2313%20&%2014.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="1789" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSby6tnIYsjo2EuZGAs6Pz9p4RkrPWqA7niaRBslJb_AN4nfnzWZCt7xOVnLkrvgLSrlp_d2Dkf9HqQliMQnmf8RYZpxQuPPHzV1XS82tVMa7qQounTQYFhF8zO9xOBs7uNFRsLRc_qbNJN3rqGMApzs0mNv1ajj9NqvfAtsjFh5abmFnFxetzQYsNQ/w640-h220/KCFS&G%20linear%20track%20plan%208.13.22%20%2313%20&%2014.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWs1GLiOZzfHMbfzsqz0Z-nU9whYvvjOaIbJg9zPcKd8i9OMa-58KuiQ_W-KD-F3-o6KsxVESPk7Ub-okOpktajuo57Wy5RR2wNKLYgkgHqhBquw5-vbRS1rDkl-TQadHbbjU2o1kqmEJdjk_zdqoO4vLNbyjqCw1mT4FMLnrqTlmX30NgUx_USbo5rA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="291" data-original-width="436" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWs1GLiOZzfHMbfzsqz0Z-nU9whYvvjOaIbJg9zPcKd8i9OMa-58KuiQ_W-KD-F3-o6KsxVESPk7Ub-okOpktajuo57Wy5RR2wNKLYgkgHqhBquw5-vbRS1rDkl-TQadHbbjU2o1kqmEJdjk_zdqoO4vLNbyjqCw1mT4FMLnrqTlmX30NgUx_USbo5rA=w200-h134" width="200" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Section 15 and 16 are mountainous, with an uphill grade starting in 16 or 17 and ending at section 13.

My first thought was, well yes, but not with my home printer, but then, I came up with some ideas to try. One of the good things about having a home printer, is that the failures don't cost much, and now I have a lot of junk for around the mine site. I tried more designs than I can count, most worked to some degree, but others were complete failures. Here are a few, but not all of the different designs I tried. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided early on to use Micro-Trains Z scale Arch Bar trucks as the standard to design around, and also use their Z scale couplers. These could also be push carts, particularly in S and O scale, and then have no need for a coupler. You will notice that the design closest to the from, has no bottom. I designed it so that I could put a piece of brass bar in the floor to add some weight.</div>

Once I figured out the dimensions and shape needed to fit the trucks and couplers, I took those designs and started trying other options using the original base.</div>

I used .030 styrene for the connector between the tipper and the rest of the car, and thus the tippers will actually tip, as long as you only glue the styrene rod at one end.</div>

This is a good example of the layering making the item, in my opinion, unacceptable. Note the layering on the corner boards. It makes the "grain" run the wrong direction, horizontally, rather than vertical. In subsequent designs, I left off the corner boards, and added styrene strips. </div>

A couple of things to note. The bottom gondola has had the brass bar inserted for weight. Also, the corner boards on these gondolas are styrene strip, which looks much better than the printed vertical boards.

The trucks were installed using the Micro-Trains pin provided with the trucks. As I recall, I used the 2-56 tap drill size as the hole for the pin, and it worked great (there does seem to be some variation in the pin diameter). The couplers were installed using the screws provided with them.</div>

There are always things that I would do different if I were to do it again. If I were to print the end panels again, I would add the support material shown in the drawing on the left, to give the panels a cleaner edges on the lower curved edges.

I circled a few of the items that I designed and 3D printed. As mentioned in the previous installment, the roof ridge cap was printed in copper. I have a couple of blog posts on 3D printing with copper, <a href="http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2016/05/3d-printing-in-copper-model-railroad.html" target="_blank">3d-printing-in-copper part 1</a> and <a href="http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2016/05/3d-printing-in-copper-2-3-weathering.html" target="_blank">3d-printing-in-copper-2-3-weathering</a>. The Chimney was also 3D printed. In the front corner of the fence is a pile of copper scrap. This is scrap from printing in copper, and I ground up the scrap in a blender before weathering it. The gate, including the corrugated metal were also 3D printed. To the left are the four truck bodies I designed and printed, including the trash truck body. Two the car frames were printed, and the one mostly buried in grass came with the Woodland Scenics kit. The two big wheels, pole road engine wheels, the large tires next to the trash truck, and the fan blade were also printed, as was the yellow car body in the near corner.</div>

Closer to the 2017 show than this years show. Yes, I am at least that far behind. <br />
<br />
There were several clinics at this years Amherst show that had structures as part of the clinic. Basically, make and take clinics. I did not take the clinics, but helped present them, so I made these items at home. Obviously, having all the time I needed, and was able to add details that one would not have time to do in a two hour clinic. The details, however, could be added after you take the building home.<br />

First up, the <u><b>Basic Wood Kit</b></u>. This was a kit cut out on a Cricut, <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/" target="_blank">https://shop.cricut.com/</a>. <br />

This view shows, from left to right, N, HO, S and O scale. Once cleaned up, the Frosted Ultra Detail material tends to turn white. Note that the blade on one of the O scale saws broke off, easily glued back on.

I started doing test prints at the show, and by the time I made all the adjustments, reprints, redesigns, etc., I had most of the parts for four road roller, so I gave one away, and built three.</div>

The wheels, tires, and mounting system were all printed separately, for various reasons, but if nothing else, it made them easier to print. The mount has a pin on it, and the wheels have a dent, to they would align.</div>

As I assembled them, I tried different ideas on the rollers, as the printed center axle did not look too good. In the end, I feel the best option was printing a hole, and then inserting a styrene axle. They are NOT made to turn, they are just for looks, but the axle on the front wheel is out in the open.</div>

The copper roof ridge, with natural weathering.</div>

In the previous post, I covered some items I printed in copper infused PLA. <a href="http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2016/05/3d-printing-in-copper-model-railroad.html" target="_blank">3d-printing-in-copper-model-railroad-details</a> I wanted to take it a step further, and naturally patina the copper (weathering it by oxidation). A little research, and one finds that Uric Acid works well, but it a little gross to handle, so I went with the second option, Ammonia and salt. You don't soak the items in it, but rather you fume the copper. The fumes from the solution cause the copper to oxidize, much as it does in nature. <span style="text-align: center;">I also wanted to see what would happen if the items fumed for a long time. How green would they get. I wasn't totally satisfied with the roof ridge cap shown above. It had fumed for about 36 hours. I did not measure the amount of salt or ammonia, and I assume different ratios would produce different results, but I am just playing, not trying to do a scientific experiment.</span></div>

Since I had a bunch of copper raft laying around, I ground it up in a blender to use it as a pile of scrap in my junk yard. I put this in a plastic bag, and propped it open to make sure fumes would get in.</div>

I took this picture after 48 hours, and you could tell it was working, lots of copper leaching out into the solution. The next evening, I was tired, didn't even look at it.</div>

After 96 hours, I opened it up to see this. One piece had collapsed under its own weight, and another had warped. I did not know what to think, so I took the parts up to wash off in the sink. I threw a paper towel over the drain to keep the parts from getting away.</div>

WELL, that got me thinking. How about a test, put a bunch of items in the fuming chamber, and take some out every 12-24 hours, and see how they fair. So, here we go on that...</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So much of the copper had oxidized away that this copper tub was almost white. It had almost no strength, and was easily crushed. I crushed them up, and threw them in the scrap pile.</span><br />

This is PLA (Polylactic Acid) plastic filament with fine copper infused in the plastic, so it prints in copper. Because it is real copper, it can be chemically weathered to add patina. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, I generally print using ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). ABS melts at a higher temperature (</span>240 degrees celsius and more) <span style="font-family: inherit;">than PLA and it requires a heated bed on the printer to keep the print from warping. ABS is stronger, more flexible, and will not degrade over time. It is also solvent weldable to Acrylic, and polystyrene, so it is great for modeling. (</span><a href="http://makezine.com/2014/11/11/abs-or-pla-choosing-the-right-filament/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">for more on ABS versus PLA</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">). ABS prints clean, with very little stringing, more on that later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">PLA melts a lot lower temperature, 180-200 degrees celsius. If you leave an PLA print in your car in the summer, it can sage, warp and get sticky. PLA is sticky, and tend to string between items. It, therefore, take more clean up than ABS. It is brittle, when compared to ABS, and it is biodegradable, even compostable. According to most sources, it will degrade over time if left outside. PLA is cheaper.</span><br />

I bought my roll of Copper infused PLA from Afinia, since I have two of their printers. FYI, that is wood infused PLA next to the copper. Yes, I can print in wood too, but that will be a later post.</div>

To get the copper to oxidize, you fume it in an atmosphere of ammonia and salt. I threw some salt in a container with a tight let, put in a little ammonia, then used some 3D printed angles to hold the ridge up above the liquid. I put the lid on and waited a day.</div>

It is a fairly new looking roof, so not a lot of patina was required. If you leave it in the fuming chamber longer, it will oxidize more, and, therefore, have more patina. MUCH more on that in the next post.</div>

In my opinion, PLA does not hold as sharpe of lines at the ABS, so the details are not as clear. In this case, the roof ridges are just not as clean as with ABS, but then, they don't make ABS infused copper!</div>

Remember the tub in the picture earlier, it had one little string of plastic coming off of it, formed when the print was done and the printer head moved away. Check out the print above.

They can be cleaned up, but it take a little work. Much easier than cleaning up a metal casting, since it is plastic. Here is whole bunch of items I did some tests on. I wanted to see how long items needed to fume in the ammonia and salt air to get a given patina. More on that in my next post. </div>

I am really happy with the way these Skylights came out. I have only used the Vac-U-Form for a couple projects, the link above and the tile roof on the <a href="http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/06/barry-well-3d-printing-and-vac-u.html" target="_blank">Barry Well</a>. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The skylights came out really clear, and fit the frame just fine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5qa4DWh-O8xmiQ5RcbGnxtrKC4188NeLzl-ZUmeNecNBTu1NWHt7ikssW5rZKvdhIckUpa52tF1l4K8qQHce_uXWzfJPsw3bujCIonReMVCcYgEwcNAgIVjGHsR_0WnGNDgQ5Q-3iMtW/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5qa4DWh-O8xmiQ5RcbGnxtrKC4188NeLzl-ZUmeNecNBTu1NWHt7ikssW5rZKvdhIckUpa52tF1l4K8qQHce_uXWzfJPsw3bujCIonReMVCcYgEwcNAgIVjGHsR_0WnGNDgQ5Q-3iMtW/s640/006.JPG" width="504" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The frame were 3D printed using copper infused PLA, more on that in a later post, the copper is really cool, but I have not found a lot of uses for it yet. And yes, it is real copper, so it can be naturally patinaed. Polishing it, I have not figured out yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also 3D printed the forms for the bubble to be Vac-U-Formed. Since six would fit on the Vac-U-Form, that is what I made. I coated four of the forms with XTC-3D from Smooth-On to help hide the laying of the 3D print. More on that later too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using the same parameters that I learned from previous experience, I was able to get the skylight bubbles made on the first try. I trimmed them to fit the frames with scissors, and popped them together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They are a scale 5' square. This was just for a line side tool and maintenance shed, so the copper frames are really to high dollar for the structure, but I was just having fun.</div>

I am sure I will be using more skylights now.</div>

I will post more on this building, and more on the copper PLA in the coming weeks. I need a rock tumbler or vibratory tumbler to polish the copper, by hand is way too much work.</div>

This is a set of items that I designed for printing at Shapeways. I had used some of these designs as part of other projects, but wanted to get all the roof details in one place. Since then, I have had requests for special assortments, which I have done, no problem.</div>

I am not a fan of Hobby Lobby, but I will have to have them all. This set is particularly cool. These work out, with the coupon and tax, to less than 30 cents each, You can't make them for that. Note there are really only four styles, just three of each, which is the same as the first set shown.</div>

The wagon wheels were 3D printed at Shapeways to my design. I painted them a tan wood color, then stained them with Alcohol and India Ink. For the steel rim, I painted the edge with Sophisticated Finishes Iron paint, then rusted the iron with their rusting solution. The letters to the lower right were printed on my home printer, and are for the companies sign. Note that upon rusting the rims of the wheels, that I also rusted the glass. It scrapes right off, but with Sophisticated Finishes Iron paint, you can literally rust anything, including glass. The picture on the right shows the pile of rust from scraping the glass with a hobby knife.</div>

Each year the Turkey Creek division of the NMRA hold a build challenge. Last year, 2015, they offered a selection of wood kits, custom made to your scale. The kits were designed and cut out by members of the division, and cut on a Cricut. The windows and doors are Grandt Line. The kits are supplied a February (as I recall), and then everyone brings their models to the June meeting to show off what we have done. Since I just started working on the 2016 model, I thought I ought to post something on the 2015 entry. If you are a model railroader in the KC area, and you aren't a member of the Turkey Creek Division, you are missing out on a great deal on a kit each year!</div>

I chose the model, at the time, not knowing what I would do with it. Note that the entry is offset to the back and there is a small lean-to addition on the side away from us. By the way, this picture is basically the only thing that could be called directions. Some parts were bagged and labeled, but otherwise, the picture is it. It is a true craftsman kit. </div>

I ran across this picture of the Splitlog Wagon Factory in Splitlog, MO. Although obviously bigger than the model above, it kind of has the character of the building. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the building larger, I made a much larger lean-to on the back side. I stained all the siding with an alcohol and India Ink wash. Then I dry brushed the building with white craft paint.</div>

To add even more additional manufacturing space, I added a basement under the lean-to. I designed and 3D printed the foundation. Under the addition, I made concrete blocks. Under the rest of the building, I set the foundation back enough that I could glue real rocks to the face, to have a rock foundation.</div>

I painted and weathered the roof framing to look like wood. I just realized how long this post is getting, so I will split it in to a couple posts. </div>

One of the reasons for the prototypical framing, was so that I could make some prototypical looking holes in the roof. </div>

The roof on the lean-to was covered with the roofing supplied in the kit, which was made by the talented Larry Diehl. </div>

In part two, I will install the roof and wall details, install the loading dock, and complete the diorama.<br />

I picked this up last year at an estate sale at the <a href="http://www.midamericatrainandtoyshow.com/" target="_blank">Mid America Train and Toy Show</a> at the KCI Expo Center. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never heard of Yank Model Research, and the estate had a couple of their models, this one and some propane tanks. Upon further research, it seems those were probably the only kits they ever produced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one was missing the water spout, but I knew there were several models on the market I could substitute. </div>

As many of you know, I like the old kits, so when I saw the date on the plans, I just had to have it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am old, and this kit is really old. Since I model 1949, it ought to fit right in.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The tank is spun aluminum, I guess that would cost a pretty penny to make today. I sanded it with very fine sandpaper to give it some texture for the paint to grab, as it was so shiny and smooth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The base came with the four piers glued in place, and the previous owner had already filed the curve the H columns to fit the tank. And, by the way, had done an excellent job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7JjH0t0KxH4TRLNV6BuN0nFa0W9-46BCGKhs_0mspIEIEMAVJbzTfnHS_PzbBSRw_fK38mClR45jqVGbRvaMX7x0AZxexZkxi1vPZMvEJd5q_1QT8-bBloc7F7SXtQpx69e_6mvZd6Tzh/s1600/IMG_2330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7JjH0t0KxH4TRLNV6BuN0nFa0W9-46BCGKhs_0mspIEIEMAVJbzTfnHS_PzbBSRw_fK38mClR45jqVGbRvaMX7x0AZxexZkxi1vPZMvEJd5q_1QT8-bBloc7F7SXtQpx69e_6mvZd6Tzh/s400/IMG_2330.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I glued the posts to the base with Aleene's Tacky Glue, as it provides some flexibility. Then I slid the tank in to place and used a rubber band to secure it. My plan was to use the rubber band to hold things together while I spaced out the posts and adjusted them to be perpendicular and evenly spaced. The rubber band did its job, but I swear, it was impossible to get all four post perpendicular and evenly spaced, all at the same time. One or two were always off a little. Eventually, I gave up, spaced them to what looked good, and dropped a dab of CA on the joint between the upright and the tank. </div>

I considered adding weld lines with Archer decals, but felt that kind of took the kit our of the vintage status, so I marked rusty lines, using some colored pencils, and some paint.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
At last months Amherst show in Massachusetts, I picked up three more old rolling stock kits, so I have plenty more to do. </div>

My next installment will be back on 3D printing, as I have multiple projects I am working on.</div>
