I will definitely look into those. There isn't any intention for the layout other than it's for my son. My key details that I need to include are working crossing lights, tunnel with rocks on top and a station. The rest I just fill in as I go. I guess I could say that my intention is to make a train set for him that is one step above track just nailed to a board with a plastic tunnel. Ahhh.. I still remember getting my first trainset. That board was painted BRIGHT green. Hmm that just gave me an idea for my next project. I'm leaving out a lot of detail on the layout. For instance the track is not getting weathered. It's going to drive me nuts but it won't bother him.Hi Warner, I enjoy seeing your modeling. I don't know your intentions for your layout, but I just wanted to mention that a Blair Line or Track Side Models wood crossing would look pretty good on that new little crossing you just glued down......
Thank you. He is going to go nuts when he sees it. It's getting close to the time that I need to step back and start thinking about what needs done before moving it from my shed to the basement for finishing. I move it to my loft every night so he doesn't see it. That's something I definitely don't want to be doing when I start with the scenery.Great to see how fast you are moving on this project! Your son will love this layout for sure.
That's an excellent way to do it. Definitely doing that with the next one.Looking good! My trick for ballasting turnouts is to put a dab of machine oil on the ties on which the points slide. That way, it does not stick.
Thank you. I have another really to upload once my computer decides to start working again.I have really been enjoying your videos. Excellent craftsmanship!
