Clinic: Diesel Upgrade

Dale Phetteplace will discuss how to repower a Life-Like Proto 2000 GP-7’s and GP-9’s for better performance and reliability. He will show the parts you need and don’t need to make a much better locomotive than the original. I’m sure this process will also help across other locos in our Engine Shed.

Clinic: Creating Water Effects
Marc Sisk will walk you through six easy steps to create a very realistic river or lake on your layout. Marc will use a cutaway prop for each step showing how to form your river or lakebed, through the pouring of your water and shaping. Marc uses Envirotex Lite to create his water effects. Use of all materials will be presented along with tips on materials and sources. The effects of water will enhance nearly all our layouts, so this tutorial is sure to be helpful to each of us and our home railroad empires!
