I used a utility knife, it's very soft plastic. Cladding also crappily cut to sizeish.

Edit: If it's upside down, sorry, it wasn't upside down on the iPad and when I downloaded the picture it was right side up.

SE scale on O gauge track

Would it be called SEn18 or SE32? :scratch: I prefer SEn18 because it states the real life gauge it represents.

Originally the plan was to put the batteries in the boiler and the motor under the floor. Then I found the pictured 2 AA battery box with a switch and decided to put that under the...

UTRR - Unrealistically Tight Radius Ry. (Gn15 scale)

After cutting an 18 inch hole in the plywood I used for my Christmas tree layout, the E&GCT, I looked at the resulting disc and decided it had to be a micro layout. Drew having introduced me to Gn15 scale, and since I had these trees my grandma made me, I decided it would be Gn15. I'll have to p...
