Carriage Lighting And Other Questions
How good are you at answering model railroad questions? If can help these three modellers with their questions simply click on the GREEN comments link at the end of this posting. I’m sure they would be very pleased to get some help if you are prepared to share your ideas.
Richard has a question on carriage lighting:
“Hi all; this blog has been created just at the right time…as I have nearly completed my N scale ‘Mid English’ layout. All the buildings are in place, quite a few already with lighting. Can a clever person give me some plain and simple guidelines to wiring for passenger carriages. Locomotives are analog.”
Antonio asks:
“How can I cut in a straight line a sheet of plasticard of medium thickness or more? The ruler is always moving because of the pressure against the knife!”
Rob asks:
“Hi there to all. Can someone tell me who has taken over the Mantua locos? I am looking for THE MANTUA COLLECTIBLE (THE LINDBERGH SPECIAL) to finish the set. I already have the other four. Thankyou. Keep on railroading. THE STATION MASTER.”

Hi Richard,
You didn’t say what type of passenger carriage you have. I have three passenger trains all Kato. Kato supply a kit for their carriages and i think it can be modified to suit other brands. It costs around $35.00 for six lights.

Hi Antonio,
I have made up a cutting jig that uses small clamps to hold my rule in position so that it cannot move and also so i dont cut myself with sharp blade. The board is A4 size and the clams are small G clamps from a hobby shop. Simple and cheap to make.
Ian.
