Hello Guys!

As you have seen some pics of my analog track I used some custom streetlights to iluminate it!

Well these lamps are made of Aluminum and are hollowed so you can put into a the cables and the led. They look nice and are a great solution for your track.

I have at the moment 20 lamps that I want to sell:

9 USD Each with no LED.

11 USD Each with LED.

Here are some pics of the lamps!

You have to take in care that the shippment cost will be extra, but I think it will not be too much $.... I am in Mexico City.

If you are interested please send me an email: marcoasb@yahoo.com, I accept paypal!









Regards

Marco.

Hi Marco, I have a question. What material did you use to make your grass/sand/borders with. It looks great by the way. Thanks,

Is texturized coat.... I don't know if that is the correct name!, is coat for home and you use it on the walls! It is like a sand coat.

Hope I can explain it!

Regards and Thanks!

No your right Marco. Here in the USA it's called textured paint. It's available anywhere a large volume of paint is sold.


You can always create your own textured paint. The best way is by stiring in some aquarium sand. The grain size of aquarium sand is smaller. Craft sand could work be make sure the sand is the the same color as the paint as little flecks may show through. I would start with a handfull of sand per gallon of paint. You could add more but be careful, it's hard to take the sand out once you have put it in. Stir the paint totaly as sand is heavier than paint and will fall to the bottom if left standing too long.


Finally sandbox, play sand, and construction sand are too large in grain size. They can work in some cases, but not for this type of project. Think of it like this, if you have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on your cars and track is it really worth taking a chance to save a dollar or two?
