Texas Instruments
Launch Pad Circuit Boards
What is a LaunchPad? It is a microcontroller development board from Texas Instruments that has the potential for scores of uses on a model railroad.
The Texas Instruments MSP430 Launch Pad (J001-EXP430G $13.99). A microcontroller is, essentially, a computer system on a single chip, including some
hardware that ordinarily would be external to and would have to be connected to a conventional microcomputer. Today's microcontrollers are
essentially as fast or faster than the '486 generation of microcomputers. Whether you know it or not microcontrollers are embedded into many of
the systems model railroaders use today. They are in each DCC decoder, in the command station and handhelds. Accessory decoders and the products
from Tam Valley Depot are built around them as well.
The TI board is much cheaper that similar products from the competing microcontroller lines and it's cheap enough that the Launch Pad can be
incorporated right into your projects. Among other things, microcontrollers can directly light LEDs therefore they can be used for all types
of things like crossing flashers, traffic light sequencers and signaling systems. In addition to illuminating the lights, the microcontroller
can incorporate the logic to determine which lights to turn on. You can program one to sequence the lights inside of a building or factory to imply
activity inside. In addition, with a few external components the same microcontroller can also detect the presence of the trains.
The microcontroller has to be programmed to function. The programming language (C or assembler) and environment is available free from TI.
If you cannot program, don't despair . Free downloads now on the Launch Pad site.
You'll be able to grab the code, compile it using a simple process and load into your own LaunchPad. In this way they hope to foster a community where we
can share applications for the TI Lanuch Pad for model railroad use.

True Scene Modeling
Fusion Fiber
J556-FF Fusion Fibre $20.00/bag
One lb. Bag covers up to 20 sf. Manufactured to meet True Scene Quality Standards
and Specifications, FusionFiber's Base White tints with your acrylic paint for true color
results and reliable consistency. Its versatile Medium Texture provides flexibility for a variety
of scenery projects in scales O down to N.
Advantages of FusionFiber:
* NO GLUE NEEDED! The adhesive is already in FusionFiber! Simply mix, spread over surface, and add scenic materials.
* NO ADDITIONAL PAINTING STEP! Tint water easily with your acrylic paint and FusionFiber takes the color during
the mixing process so you spread and "paint" all in one step.
* Odorless material mixes with tinted water for MESS-FREE application and clean-up. NOTE: It is safe to mix and spread FusionFiber by hand if desired.
* Extended drying time allows for FLEXIBILITY to detail with plant stems, shrubs, foliage, flocking, stones, figures, buildings, track, logs, rail ties, etc.
* NO WASTE - Just add warm water to any dried, leftover mixture for a new project at a later time! This also means that
FusionFiber is REHYDRATEABLE. Even a dried, "finished" scene can be re-moistened to change as desired.
* Dried, finished scene is LIGHTWEIGHT, similar to egg carton cardboard, allowing for easy lifting and transportation of scenery sections
* FusionFiber can be APPLIED TO VERTICAL SURFACES.
* SCULPTING APPLICATION- Clump and mound FusionFiber then shape with a "sculpting tool" to form rounded boulders.
(Note: NOT a substitution for the detailed rock shapes made from plaster with rock molds)
* TEXTURE AND DEPTH - FusionFiber provides the layer of top soil that makes grassy areas look real and gives
buildings the appearance of being set into a foundation
* EASY - With FusionFiber even BEGINNERS can make realistic scenery!

Roberts Products
Brick Mortar
Brick Mortar 1oz bottle - $7.95
Brick Mortar 4oz Jar - $15.95
QUICK & EASY:
1) Shake well-stir if needed. Apply thin coat over surface to be mortared using a small brush or damp rag, filling all mortar lines.
2) Allow to dry until a powdery white film appears.
3) Wipe brick face clean to desired look using a damp rag (easier if wiped same day but can be done next day or later).
For an aged effect leave some powdery residue on brick face. For colored mortar apply a wash of your favorite
color after Step 3. Safe for plastic, polyester, plaster, wood, epoxy, & polyurethane.
There are many ways to do something.....here are some that work well for us! These apply to ALL scales.
Weathering:
Moderate to heavy: weather the brick before using ROBERTS, seal with a clear gloss spray, apply ROBERTS, then apply
weathering to the mortar lines as desired, seal with Dullcote. Bonus: leave a bit of residue when wiping off ROBERTS for
a lightly weathered look or dilute ROBERTS with water as desired to make a wash for use on concrete plants, grain elevators, or to get the loo of sun-faded boards.
Colored Mortar:
Off white to grey can be achieved with a dilute India ink wash after ROBERTS is applied and wiped, for other colors use a wash of water soluble acrylic paint.
