Cork Roads and Grade Crossings | Workbench Wednesday

[@thunderstruck5484]

Thanks Dave, always good to escape the problems of the day and visit the fascinating world you are creating

[@RobBean-wf9ie]

Thanks Dave, the cork makes sense for the job at hand.🎉

"Well, I have a very good reason ... why I didn't do that: it's that I .... I did not think of it." 😄 Excellent ! 😊

[@rhelyk7893]

I usually think of thumbtacks as the small brass pins with round dome shaped heads, but I've also heard pushpins and thumbtacks used interchangeably for both types and I doubt it matters too very much. Enjoyable stuff, as always

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

That is always my "really good reason", too 😂🤷‍♀️ haha

ThunderMesaStudio, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!

[@loispadgett6306]

I am working in N scale right now and got some self sticking cork from the dollar store. I used it for roads and it is just the right hight. Course I did put glue down before I peeled the backing off for strenght. It is a suitcase train layout. I so enjoy these Wednesday workbench learn alot. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@cerisekappes580]

A nice easy workbench Wednesday project 😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

Odd but I love the smell of cork roadbed. ❤

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

I guess we're both odd because so do I!

[@MatecaCorp]

I like the SP look for the 4-4-0

[@johnbeck3270]

Cork sheet can also be purchased at auto parts suppliers, it’s known as gasket material, and is available in different thicknesses. Great video as always.

I've always felt that the round flat pins that you actually push in are thumb tacks. The ones you use are push pins. That's from a New York/ New Jersey guy.😊

[@Kroombit]

@bobainworth5057, Your description is absolutely correct. I'm from Australia our terms are the same.

[@zaklex3165]

Also, if you go to buy them you have to look for push pins to get the ones he's using, the others with the flat head will be found by looking for thumb tacks.

Push Pins!!! I use dollar store black foam core as roadbed on my O3r layout in tunnels/hidden areas. Save where you can!! thx

[@michaelseekins662]

In Maine they are called pushpins

[@allenlandis4504]

looks great there,

[@markdeschane4467]

I notice that your Peco track doesn't really look like my On30 Narrow Gauge track made from Mt. Albert ties. My ties have about a foot sticking out on either side of the rails. While ridding the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge RR I saw that N.G Ties did seem to have about a Foot on each side of the rails sticking out. I also feel it's just fine to do what ever you feel like doing for track. Doug Tagsold's Colorado and Southern uses plain HO track for his 1/72nd scale RR and also uses HO equipment for this layout!

[@politicsandtrains]

In Canada they are thumb tacks, LOL

[@williamdickman7917]

They're push pins....thumb tacks are button shaped with a pin on the underside of the button. BTW, are you on vacation from youtube this week?

[@Jeremiaha284]

Dave have you bought any 1/4 scale trucks and cars for your 1910-1920's era layout? I was able to buy some Matchbox Models of Yesteryear, Bearcat, Model T, and Mack trucks. They and the Renwall / Revell 1/4 kits are worth the search.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

I have a few, always looking for more!

[@bigwoz78]

Push pins Dave. Thumb tacks are different

[@dstenger]

I think your "push pins" would hurt my thumb so I'd go with push pins. : )
