i like your wiring job. can you show mode detail on that? what did you use for the guide channes? what are those little thingies marking the individual wires?

 

[haphall]

A beautiful layout through and through. I particularly like the detail on your benchwork. The understated scenery and quality built structures are also very impressive. So much still to learn...

Nice work

I am very impressed by your scenery and rock work. Can you tell us how you did it? I have seen a lot and I am very impressed!

Jef, I know I saw a how-to/tutorial showing how you made your streetlights, but I cannot find it here. Was it on another site? Also...was wondering how you did your asphalt roads and concrete parking lot? Fantastic work. From the photos, you would think it's a much bigger layout.

Thanks!

Great looking layout.
You did a super good job with the details.
Also good choice in road names.
