Sarah has more mechanical aptitude/skills and creativity than almost any man I know. A real renaissance woman.

In the "Coasting drive" thread, Sarah is installing one in a KTM Challenger. Scroll down about halfway.

Yeah, those gearboxes are incredibly high quality. Pretty unusual to find a woman with her quality of machining skills.

Re: Trees by Sarah
Excellent tutorial and a beautiful tree, yet completely impractical if your building any substantial pike with a large amount of trees at 7-8 hours a tree.
I wonder if you could ‘dip’ it in the latex to at least expedite that part of the process. There maybe some ways to streamline the process but a tree of that magnitude is still gonna take some time.

I made trees out of twisted rope and florist wire. Then used premade drywall spackle to cover. It went fast. When you make trees to scale. You don't need many. One of the biggest drawbacks was my fingers. Natural fiber rope, florist wire and drywall paste will kill your hands.

Most people don't made trees to scale in O scale. An O scale forest area is huge. I have some big trees on my layout but I know that they are really more like scale HO trees. Every time I see really scale trees on a display I hear guys complaining that the trees are too big and make the trains look too small. I think some people have never gone outside, looked up and measured a tree. Cut down a few and you find out they are big. Put 10-100 O scale 40'-80' trees on a layout......

Re: Trees by Sarah
Yes. Small trees become the norm. A scale tree should be bigger than a freight car standing on end.
