Prof Klyzlr’s parents report
that from a young age, he
showed significant interest
in anything train-related.
However, it was through the
support and encouragement
of local narrow gauge
modelling mentors that the
seeds of scale railway modelling really took hold.
Prof’s modeling interests cover a lot of ground, including
narrow gauge Australian logging, standard gauge US shortline,
and switching operations. He is also active in Small/Micro
Layout design and Layout-Sound modelling.
Prof actively promotes model railroading to the general public
at exhibitions and events, and can be often found encouraging
and assisting fellow modellers in and around Sydney, Australia.
“Chicago Fork” Tool List
The Tool list for “Chicago Fork” is largely made up of items
found on any modeler’s workbench. With the exception of
the Hot glue gun and Soldering iron, the tools do not require
power, making operation virtually silent. This along with the
use of foam core permits building of layout sections at times
and in locations which might otherwise be domestically
impossible.
The tool list is as follows:
- Minimum 600mm (24") ruler
- “Sharpie” marker or equivalent
- X-acto knife + spare blades (!)
- Lo-temp hot glue gun (art and craft version)
+ spare glue sticks (!)
- Rail nipper/rail-cutting saw
- Needle-nosed pliers
- Fine file (track tweaking)
- ACC
- PVA (White) glue
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Soldering iron + 60/40 General Purpose solder
- Paints for painting/weathering (Tamiya XF series acrylics
+ Jo Sonja Goache)
- Disposable brushes
