Build a Static Grass Applicator

I wanted a static grass applicator, $40 or $130??!  I built one for five dollars and 30 minutes of work! Here's the article Build a Static Grass Applicator for Model Train Scenery It works great, see my results above!

Model Spike Drums

These metal spike barrels were prevalent in the '80's after the ones contained in wooden barrels were used up.  Grandt Line N scale oil barrels can be used but a more accurate, cheap and time effective way is to use Evergreen Styrene 1/8" tubing. I simply cut the pieces 2' (scale) tall, thinned the walls to a more protypical thickness, filled the bottoms with Squadron putty and painted them appropriately.

Prototype example from Bellows Falls.
