Negative Ion Generators On, Captain...
The package from John Cubbin arrived. The excitement was palatable as I unpacked the “Grassinator”. What is a Grassinator you ask? It is a very cool tool for applying static grass to your layout. John posted an online article on building this tool on his web site, www.ztrains.com. Looking much like a flashlight, with odd exposed wiring, the Grassinator uses a negative ion generator to supercharge the static grass so it will stand upright on a layout.
Minutes later I was down the basement with my wife Jenni in tow. I pulled out a bottle of static grass and filled the container with a quarter cup of the fine green material.

 Swiss Z Line
Swiss Z Line was founded with the goal to meet the niche market of Swiss Z scale locomotives and rolling stock. SZL's first release of the brass Re 4/4 IIs immediately filled a long standing need in modern Swiss locomotive power. Corresponding brass passenger cars and gravel cars offered Swiss enthusiasts all new options for rolling stock. SZL's goal is to expand the line to include locomotives and rolling stocks for other European markets. |
