Cork Roads and Grade Crossings | Workbench Wednesday
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 кві 2024
- Some days I just like to putter around the studio. This week, that puttering led me to laying the foundation for some roads, grade crossings, and structure pads with inexpensive sheet cork from the local office supply store. Hope you'll join me for this Workbench Wednesday vlog!
Thanks for watching!

"Well, I have a very good reason ... why I didn't do that: it's that I .... I did not think of it." 😄 Excellent ! 😊
Thanks Dave, always good to escape the problems of the day and visit the fascinating world you are creating
Thanks Dave, the cork makes sense for the job at hand.🎉
ThunderMesaStudio, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!
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 like the SP look for the 4-4-0
Odd but I love the smell of cork roadbed. ❤
I guess we're both odd because so do I!
That is always my "really good reason", too 😂🤷♀️ haha
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
A nice easy workbench Wednesday project 😊
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.😊
@bobainworth5057, Your description is absolutely correct. I'm from Australia our terms are the same.
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
In Maine they are called pushpins
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 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
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!
looks great there,
In Canada they are thumb tacks, LOL
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?
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.
I have a few, always looking for more!
Push pins Dave. Thumb tacks are different
I think your "push pins" would hurt my thumb so I'd go with push pins. : )
Are they push pins or thumb tacks ? Just more of lifes questions !
