I attended the Fine Scale Model Railroader Expo in Lancaster on Fri. and Sat. The Expo features clinics from some of the big names in the hobby: Dave Frary, Mike Tylick, Bob Mitchell, Marty McGuirk, and others. Many Craftsman Kit manufacturers were there as well: Bar Mills, Sierra West, Crow River, Hunterline, and more.<br />

The event was celebrating the 25th anniversary of Steamtown and the 40th anniversary of Amtrak. It was great! In addition to Steamtown's permanent displays, Amtrak brought in a P40 Genesis pulling a cafe car, 2 baggage cars and a sleeper. These housed a "museum" of the history of Amtrak. They also brought an F40PH pulling a business/inspection car.<br />

Steve, Jeff and I were assisted by Scott Mingus in tree-making. Scott has a lot of landscape modeling experience from his many years of Civil War Wargaming. Thanks again, Scott.<br />

Not just because I got white glue and foam on it, either. My trees are starting to look like, well, trees.<br />
I trimmed up and re-shaped my first bottle brush tree. Here is the final result:<br />

Second effort was to use dried Sedum plants to make a deciduous tree (thank you wifey for growing Sedum in our yard). I bundled and glued them together and spray painted them brown and then touched up with tan. Then sprayed everything with diluted white glue, dumped on coarse and fine green ground foam, and then repeated that about seven times. After it all dries I separated the branches and wrapped the stems with brown florist tape. All it needs now is a kid climbing it!</div>

The Stillmeadow Crossing Modular Train Group had their first public display this weekend. We set up in the church lobby as part of Stillmeadow Church's Car Show. It was well-attended, and the visitors seemed to enjoy the layout. Or maybe they enjoyed the air conditioning and the bake sale next to the layout . . . hard to say. But, one thing is for sure: the group members had a great time.</div>

These are nicely detailed models based on homes from the early 1920s in San Francisco. But the molded colors weren't great, so I started what ended up being a 3 month painting/assembly project.<br />

This was a long project with many mis-steps. Here is what I learned:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ol>
<li>Paint all except white plastic parts. The molded colors are usually too bright and shiny.</li>
<li>Prime both sides of the walls if you want interior lighting (to avoid the pumpkin glow). Grey Automotive Primer is quick and cheap.</li>
<li>Paint has to be scraped with a hobby knife from all glue joint surfaces (a big pain). Testor's liquid cement does not stick to paint.</li>
<li>Contrary to what the "Pros" say, model airplane cement holds much better than liquid cement and is easier to apply without a mess. But, you have to confine it to interior or hidden surfaces. Liquid cement only has the edge with bare plastic clamped together. I did not try super glue - too messy.</li>
<li>The best way to glue in window frames and windows is a drop of model airplane cement in each corner of the inside, out of view.</li>
<li>Paint and completely assemble each flat wall section, then assemble them together.</li>
<li>Spraying Floquil really stinks, even with a paint booth. Polly S Acrylics are much nicer to spray.</li>
<li>An assortment of clothes pins, clamps, rubber bands, weights, square edges, and magnets are the key to assembly (see pictures above).</li>
<li>Doing 3 kits together is much more efficient, especially for painting.</li>
<li>IHC printed instructions are marginally useful.</li>
<li>Above all, have fun!</li>
</ol>

I would love a ride on the Santa Fe Super Chief. So, he bought me a ticket. A REAL ticket from the 50s. <br />

Next time I am in Chicago or LA, I'll be waiting on the platform in my suit and fedora, smoking a cigar, tipping my hat, and saying "Morning, ma'am." Then I will get arrested for loitering, public smoking, and sexual harassment. <br />

The key is using a hot wire foam cutter. It seals the surface as you cut, so you don't get 10,000 little white beads. This is pretty time consuming, but hey, the real ones took 90 Million years, right?<br />
