Decal Madness: Cliff Aaker models primarily in On30 and nearly always freelanced roads. This means most rolling stock has to be lettered using either rub-on or waterslide decals. He has learned much along the way and will be sharing what he has picked up. If you have experience using decals you are welcome to contribute.

Let’s start the new year with a look at how to create realistic scenes on our layouts. We will use several examples from Dale Kreutzer’s fully scenicked layout in Port Orchard. Dale has taken photos at locations in Colorado he is modelling and created large backdrops, some over 20 feet in length. He has carefully blended the foreground materials with the backdrops in a manner that completely hides the transition from the horizontal to the vertical.
