Model Railroader needs help with tool selection
Morning all;
I have just recently returned from a long stint overseas (US) and with the family residing in the Brunswick area of Melbourne.
I am a mad keen model railroader (building layouts, etc) and I am wondering if there are any other modellers out there who mightbe able to give me an idea of the tools, and or techniques they use to build model railway layouts using ply, and so on.
I am planning on building a couple of layouts during the next two years and will be building them based a on thin ply outers (5mm-6mm) with an interior stiffener of 12mm ply blocks 50mm wide and as high as 100mm depending on the design of the baseboard frame.
My aim is to not only build 1200 x 450mm boards but also to build curved boards using the method mentioned above.
So any tips you might be able to give me on quality power tools to speed the build time (I was reading about Band Saws this morning which kicked off this thread idea) would be of great benefit.
