nice chicago-themed street running

Drew,

There was a nice article in Model Railroader in the past 6 months or so on luan plywood modules. I don't have the exact info handy right now but it might give you some additional ideas.

Best wishes, Dave

Dave,

Unfortunately i'm not an MR subscriber right now (nor have i been for some time) for reasons to be discussed elsewhere. That said, i *do* appreciate the heads-up; and now to see if my google-fu can turn up the specific issue it was in. Thanks!

This is the same guy that wrote the MR article (April 2009). I thought the spray paint idea was a bit much considering a pencil might do just as well, but the final product looks nice.

Best wishes, Dave

And then strap steel legs to it!!!

it's still lighter than the legs AND heavy wood, right? 

i don't think those legs are that heavy, it's not like they are solid steel.

I never noticed that Berlin Mills boxcar from Toms site before.

Why?

I dunno..It never stuck out for some reason until now. And I thought I had wacked myself to death on the site...
