Hello. Love the teeny trains! Super cool!
I'm brainstorming opportunities to incorporate them in my N-scale set. The PS-300(CrossTrack) would be a great trail for a ski boat. The description says it's 1:1500 while others say 1:1000. Is that correct?
Also, can the tracks be painted?
Hi and thank you.
Yes the train cars actually scaled 1:1500. Earlier we planned to use our standard cars 1:1000 but failed due to the small track curve radiuses.
Not sure about painting; we would recommend to cover (glue) tracks with ultra thin plastic (0.001" THK) making sure that there no any air baubles between them.
Any luck with painting? I detailed an oval but did not paint the rail area so it looks like black ballast on the roadbed.
Unfortunately, my entire project is on hold for budgetary reasons. :-/
Maybe a blue contact film to represent water, if it is thin enough and put on without bubbles. There is also a dark or silver color mirror type coating used for car windows to block solar rays. That might be safer to use and removable and easier to find scraps and such. I think its kind of floated on a water covered surface and then the water is kind of squeeged away when in position.
Another use would be mining carts for a gold or coal mine. Maybe a little loop coming and going through the mountainside near a oal mine building, set up to look like a couple mine carts and a man pushing them.
