Model Railroading > The devils in the detailsDate: 06/27/16 12:05 The devils in the details Author: santafedan I often get comments about my culverts. Many are surprised that I put them in. I used 1/2 to 3/4 inch conduit cut lengthwise for the culverts.

That was my first though upon seeing the first picture, then I realized it was a very well done layout.

Were I Superintendent, I would have the roadmaster transferred to Far East Outpost. Great modeling work! TAW Date: 06/28/16 05:39 Re: The devils in the details Author: hogheaded Very convincing (and easy!) concrete culverts. Nice.
For corrugated metal culverts, I've been using the same method for 50 years: heavy foil embossed by wrapping it around appropriately-sized course thread machine screws. I wonder how many $12.95's that's added up to over the years? EO Should have pointed this out to my wife when she saw the last credit card bill...
