Quote from: Philip on Today at 10:27:48 AMSome serious accurate jigging goin on Bernd! 

It's the only way to make sure the model comes together square and everything fits properly. Something I learned in my job.

Great find but, no! It does look like a gap in the wainscoting for sure. The reason I said you won't find it is because it is all one piece. Following your circle in the photo, I looked at the wall and can't see what the camera picked up.

Honestly, it is one piece.

I believe you. What caught my eye was the crevice was dark and not lite up like the rest. That's usually what you'll get when putting to pieces together like that. And that's what I was looking for.

Got me. I own you the prize.  ;)

I'll take a stab at it.

I heard Yellowstone has a bunch of them that sometimes let out a big puff of hot air and then a lot of steam!

This is the "Old Geezer"



He was a very well liked On30 modeler on the Railroad Line.

Ok, let's begin making the roof. I'm trying to remember exactly how I did this and get the pictures in the right order. I had to make two roofs and from looking at my pictures I must have done each roof separate and took pictures of each as I did them.

First a drawing was made and run through the procedure of making a G-code file for the machine. Cutting curves with a CNC is a breeze.



All cut. Now to saw through those little tabs to release them.



Next, I bult a rafter frame, at least that's what I'll call it for lack of a better explanation. I use two pieces of 1/8" square tubing.



Using my square assembly jig from the sides I assembled one side to make sure it'll be square.





Next I used a small metal square and assembled the two pieces on a piece of ceiling tile. I used pins to hold everything down for soldering.





I'll stop here for now. I'm trying to figure out what I did next with the pictures showing the roof construction. Something is out of place.

I'll carry on when I get it straightened out.

Philip,

My pictures are 1080 wide, Length varies do to the fact that I use a photo edit program to resize the width pixel count. I believe 1080 is standard for forums.

Dave,

Isn't that supposed to be Hojack Line not Hijack Line?

Types of threads usually pertain to the subject matter. MRH is Model Railroad Hobbyist forum and also an E-zine (electronic magazine) run by Joe Fugate. I've been a member since 2011. It's just another site that's more geared toward DCC, modern railroading and operations.

I was just over to the "Geezer" lounge. On the RR-L the On30 guys seemed to hang out there. The regular day by day morning lounge seemed like the other "gaugers" hung out with some occasional cross talk.

I won't mind a day-by-day lounge, but not two separate ones. I get a bit confused, somewhat easy at my age, about which one to post in and where I posted one I'd like to follow up on.

That's my $5.00 (inflated along with the egg prices)

Quote from: Rick on February 08, 2025, 10:46:25 AMLooks like our lounge here is already under attack.  :-\  :(
Can't believe that people who never contributed to the Geezer Lounge on RR-Line are complaining that we have one long continuous instead thread instead of starting a new one daily.
I'd love to know why that bothers them.

Probably can't find the beginning of the new string in the ball of yarn.  :o   ;)

Been on the computer all morning after breakfast explaining on the MRH forum that you need a mechanically good engine for DCC to work flawlessly. DCC will not fix mechanical issues with the engine.

To many projects on the burner. Don't know which one to tackle first.

Maybe another cup of Cherry Amaretto mixed with Columbian will do the trick.

Have a great day.

Dave,

I remember you talking about that on the RR-L. Looks like great material for quick small molds.

Mark,

That flotation plant is coming along nice. Quite a large structure in HO.
