I must disagree. I think the benefits of stainless can be considerable with delicately-detailed items like signals, particularly when it comes to things like ladders and railings.

Fair enough.

Nicely done! Certainly better than the Peco ones I have on my N-Trak module.

Wow !!! don't forget to gap one rail to avoid a short !

Sirenwerks:  How does your line get from Rapid City to Billings?  West to Gillette, and connections with the CB&Q, or northwest through Montana by way of nowhere notable?  Since the Q reached well into the Black Hills, do you have a connection with it, possibly at Deadwood or Lead?

It sounds very similar to the C&NW (DME) line through Wall, which stops just short of the Montana line.  It would be interesting to see Sturgis with two railroads and the biker rally...

Cut some plastic sheets for a backdrop.


Put up some supports to mount it,  just need some brackets to straighten and strengthen.

Gareth,
Who's kit is that?

It's from the 2mm Association. The instructions say it was designed by Masterclass Models, but it's only available from the Association.
