(...) Thanks James, The DZ123 sounds like the economical choice then. Any other advice on installing these? I'm planning to remove the thermal protection disk from the motorbox, what about the surge diode? I assume anti buzzing circuits are no (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Oh come on people, Lar was expressing his *opinion*. But Lar, I gotta say, water is painted blue on most of the layouts I've seen, scale MR or not. An example: (URL) on our M>ltc layout (URL) snow tipped mountain was only barely taller than (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) Why is a "Disneyish" bad? You make it seem that non-real world accurate scene elements are bad and should never be modelled.

Agreed about the snow line- better to have a patch of snow in a gulley or valley- a little tiny glacier. Beautiful work- I'm jealous! I don't (...)

(...) Whereas I like trans with blue underneath or transblue, I think it looks more like water, since water is transparent. Having blue bricks underneath the transparent layer makes it look blueish but not solid. (...) Which is probably why I would (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

snipped (...) Odd you should say this. I really like the look of the blue water cascading down the mountain and the way the light reflects off the sloped bricks. It's going to take a tall, tall mountain to really justify a snow cap. Wouldn't you (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
