I got the second sheet of the Glenrock backdrop mounted a couple of days ago. I just need to get some plastic putty to fill the gap, then about fourteen feet of the backdrop will be ready to paint!
Last night I cut the new plastic face of the panel to size and sandwiched the graphic in between two sheets of the stuff. I slipped the sandwich into the grooves on the panel frame and began drilling it for the new switches. I got about ten switches in, leaving ten to go. I'll finish drilling those switch locations tonight or tomorrow.
I realized that I forgot one very inportant thing - panel mountings for the LEDs. I'll need about 36 of those. I guess I'll order a batch from Digikey.
About Me
- Mark B.
- Allendale, SC
- I grew up in Wyoming, mostly living in areas served by the railroads I model. I remember standing at the window in our Cody Wyoming home, staring at night at the old Husky refinery across town. I remember the bridge across the creek and under the tracks between Powell and Cody. I remember always looking for trains as we travelled through the Wind River Canyon. And I remember my mother's last home - a mobile home in Evansville next to the Burlington mainline.
