Thanks for posting, it explains a lot. But not ALL, the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | (...) John, I've been playing with as well, but I use a slightly differnt meathode for the curves. I'll have to check out what you've done when I get home, thanks for posting. I agree about the speckling, although I'm using gray and very light grey (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
