Thanks Mark! Your window making technique worked extremely well. Yes, there are many tricks that can be used with Alps printers to achieve desired results. It does take some experimentation and some examples of the printer can do things that others can't But in the end it is a wonderful tool. I often use multi-layer spot color printing and non-native color ink ribbons to get solid ink coverage in colors not achievable with standard CYMK inks. I know that I'm being a stickler, but since I have learned about it I try to use the correct terminology: those thin dividers in your windows are muntins, not mullions. Here are the definitions for both.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MullionMuntins are often confused with "mullions" (which separate complete window units), and "astragals" (which close the gap between two leaves of a double door).I know that often information on the Interwebs is not ture, but in this case it seems genuine. I'll use "muntins" where applicable until someone proves me incorrect.
SD-7/9's on branch line rails are a favorite of mine, so I have to have one of these (Attachment Link) Started with a Atlas/Kato SD and ground the frame down, shortened the fuel tank and cobbled together the air tanks (Attachment Link) Next up is attaching those stand alone air tanks and a few little misc details (Attachment Link) Tom LWellington CO
...and wind sock I may pass on these for now. I don't think they arrived until after the plant was moth-balled. Besides, I already have one nest.md
Tom,Looks good! Here you go......
I didn't know any other RR's had SDs with the short fuel tank, other than the Milwaukee Road.Tom L.
A few weeks ago I decalled a pair of B&M RDCs. This weekend I made a photo-plank so that I can take better photographs of my models. Everything was going great until I looked at the pictures of my computer. The printing of the decals is quite obvious and rather distracting. Back to the drawing board.
