My idea about using the duct aluminum tube material is proving to be harder than I had expected. It tends to crimp and rip with ease, so getting clean cuts is rough. I was also looking the area over a few days ago and realized that if I went with my original plan of action, I'd be cutting off a view of 60% of the track which would be somewhat sad. It's the only area where I can run my longer KATO train.
This, in turn, makes a case for that longer run option - building out the subway section to run into my back storage room area and back.
This is another cool subway video.
Hmmmm....guess I need to do some more freelance work! :)
Thanks for sharing these videos.
ReplyDeleteThose first two scenes in the first video actually had the overhead wires modeled ! Very convincing, wonder if they are N or HO ? The pipe he shows looks similar to 3 or 4 inch ABS waste pipe available from HD or Lowes except the walls seem thinner. When I visited the Kato store a few weeks ago they had a track set up inside a clear pipe to give the viewer the idea of how one could model a subway scene. I'll include that photo in my next post.
Hey there Brad - thanks for reading!
DeleteHe models in N - I believe this is an N scale layout. I love the wires. I plan to use EZ line for my wires once things are a little more together. I think it will be a nice look.
I'd love to see a photo of that other setup. Heh...tried using duct as I said and...yeah...a firm PVC-type pipe would be easier to work with in many ways! :)
Cheers!
