Re: Newbie needs help! Modeling a platform in N Gauge

Feb 02, 2005 0 Replies

Hi Joe



To customise our platforms on our n gauge layout we used balsa wood cut to shape and then used sand paper to slope the ends.



Took bits from a metcalf kit (top and sides) and glued onto the balsa as required.



In hindsight may have created a balsa "box" rather than using a solid piece but it seemed to work OK.
