I'm having trouble building a train layout with a valance /shadow Box...... with good support and will be strong and be portable??? Any ideas ;D ...........I want to build this as my home layout in 8 foot sections?? and take to some train shows.
Found what I was looking for ;D........... Going to use Alum framing and plastic connectors just like they did on the O scale Dolly Varden Mine layout that was built years ago.
I published a long article about that layout. Let me know if it would be of any use for you. -- Russ
Russ, what year and month was it? Craig
It was in the 2011 Logging, Mining & Industrial Annual, nominally April 2011, Craig. -- Russ
Russ, Thanks.... I have all the mag's total 37 just looked through the 2011 this morning nice article; D..... I'm waiting for the backdrop height measurement they used. I want to get my order in for what I need for the alum framing and stuff. I will not copy what they did I'm going to do my own thing. I have been a arm chair modeler for way to long if I don't do SOMETHING SOON ill sell all my stash.... E-bay here I come :o I cut up all my Gazette's up but yours missed my X-acto knife ???

This is due to the course of things and the time in which we live.
For example, I once learned a profession that no longer exists today.
