Re: Haruka garden railway
Rik, that is Napoleon, indeed, as a friend of mine told me about that. On his way to Waterloo Station? If you notice, I also have Abraham Lincoln on the other end. I use the model system to teach my daughter how things work and history. When she was a few years old, she stood there, pointed to the ...

Re: Making "steam" from an atomizer for making mist
The atomizer generates tiny aerosols, which will dissipate quickly in the air; thus, there are no droplets on the loco or wagons.

Re: Making "steam" from an atomizer for making mist
I gave up running live steam locomotives for a while, but I still missed the steam, thus, I decided to make "steam" for the LGB Stainz. It turned out that this small atomizer from a mini-humidifier (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGN4QC3K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) seems t...

Re: Making "steam" from an atomizer for making mist
I had wondered if there was a way of adding a plume of steam to a battery loco, when you have added a sound card its the one missing element. A very interesting idea. I will store it away for future consideration. Trevor The Stainz locomotive was controlled by the wifi-based Locomote board and the ...

Re: Making "steam" from an atomizer for making mist
Great, thanks a lot. How long does one water fill last? I have not had a chance to test. But the wick is 5 cm long, and the chimney can carry quite a lot of water (I need to calibrate how much). I will play around this Thanksgiving weekend and will let you know; can't wait to see how real that woul...

Re: Improving railroad track during Labor Day
Looks great! It was a good weekend for working on the railway here as well. I'm very interested in how the mortar mix works out over time as I've been considering a similar method of track placement. In the past, I was indecisive, I covered the track with a light layer of mortar mix. After the Wint...

Improving railroad track during Labor Day
I spent the long weekend immobilizing the track on the ground with mortar mix. It turned out very successful.

Old State House
I just established a new Old State House in the garden this weekend. This is a 3-month project with a lot of ups and downs; after all, I am glad that it works out fine. The building has over 80 windows. All are made of resin.

Re: epoxy polymer resin
In the past, I bought polymer resin to make the buildings, it was great. But I didn't have a record of what kind of polymer. Recently, I bought epoxy resin and I was disappointed because when the structure is placed outdoors under the heat of ~ 80F, it became softer. The structure collapsed because...
