Hey Dekker, where are you? Hope you are still following your thread (sorry). Have you tried any of these excellent suggestions?
Jos, Thanks for reminding me of that. I made that mistake on a crossing I experimented with and made using railroad ties. I sanded it down even with the rails and OOPS! What a nightmare to clean.
Grampy, that is an very real looking road and crossing. I hope I can get close to that with the road to the passenger station. The station is located in a mid-size town and next to the engine service area. It has a lot of traffic going to the station and industrial areas to wear down the road. Besides, the town's budget for roads has been pocketed by a Mayor that thinks he is underpaid.
QUESTION: I believe some of you said that you lay the road before adjacent ground cover/scenic. How do you prevent the yuk from getting all over your nicely weathered road?
