chris a posted:Finally got my train station wired up and added lights out front.
Yes I know I am not stopping by near enough, kind of buried at work! I am actually down in the basement today trying to finish laying my 5 yard tracks which will eventually be sitting under a station kit bash like the one above.
Scott outstanding job on the B & O station. Could you post any other photos. I am hoping to embark on this kitbash in October/November, so any insights you have from your build would be most appreciated. I already have my 4 MTH station buildings, just haven't gotten them out and started the planning/cutting phase.
Chris - thanks, biggest thing is to really take your time with the center entrance section. That was the most difficult part to work out.
The handsaws with the assorted blades I got from micromark. Ended up using all 4 for different areas. Clamping a 12 inch steel ruler on the areas you intend to cut helps a lot.
The dome and skylights came from plastruct. I used self adhesive strips from Michael's for making the detail lines on both. It's meant for making lead lines for painted stained glass.
The other thing to watch is the internal supports that are molded into the MTH structures, they'll make it more difficult to cut the walls. The posts for screwing the banks together can mostly be ripped out by twisting with pliers. Try and plan on saving about an inch around each corner, makes it easier to use the wall block lines as a guide to cut.
I'll get some other photos soon.
Thanks Scott
