RSS Fetcher Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The single most enjoyment I get is discovering that patience overcomes most obstacles. That’s what drives me to invest my time in making a model railway. I can not stress the importance of taking on a challenge and completing it whether it be with others or solving it yourself. So with that in mind I’ve built myself a Static Grass Applicator as the need to build up the grass texture at Garsdale Station is paramount. My SGA is a hybrid between using the well known fly swat and Luke Towan’s design. This arose mainly because of access to readily obtainable components adapted for my purposes. The handle of the fly swat I found when disassembled fitted nicely inside a 42 mm OD PVC tube and could easily be secured inside it as it held the swats circuit board. The activation switch on the swat needed to be extended by wiring a extra sub miniature SPST switch to the rear of the SGA tubing and the addition of positive and negative wires leads for a 3.0 Volt power supply outside the SGA. Then I followed Luke’s method of construction for the rest. UHU all purpose adhesive replaced others he used.
