I had recently purchased a Sharpie Poster Paint marker for another purpose, and thought it might be an easy way to add traffic lines.
It was.
On-road painting finished... |
I experimented a little with freehand drawing, but that didn't work very well. I then tried using a ruler, but that was awkward.
The best solution turned out to be painter's tape. I simply applied two strips on either side of the line I wanted to draw, and then just colored in the opening with the Sharpie.
... and now it's time to put back all the scenery. |
The curves I did draw freehand, but only after adding the straight lines with the tape method. Connecting them up with the curves proved to be an easy process.
Now traffic flows freely (and safely) on the Straco layout. And good thing, too. I recently completed a purchase of some additional vehicles...

Another busy day on the Straco layout. Drive safely! |
