Nice I have two selves in my garage pre built that are 14ftx2ft. I had 2 US layouts on them, One has been stripped down, the other is about too. Now what to do? Your Layout is very nice. Very inspirational. Last media I have from one of the layouts

what are the dimensions of your layout?

It has been many years since I have modeled, Railways. I got sucked into Warhammer 40K and that is a bad place to go. 40K has increased my painting skills, I became a great painter. I still have my 14ftx2ft sections (1 on top of the other). I am planning on reviving one of them. The lower one has some high end 1999 high powered UNIX workstations. Does anybody know looking at my prior posts, what track CAD I used?

it seems his layout has not progressed much over the last year, the video footage is the same I saw a while back, I looking forward in seeing some buildings and other detailing done.

awesome, really looks good. about the mojo, I go though this too, and at the moment, don't have it.

really good way of doing it, thanks for the advice.

BTW it looks awesome

Deseret News, looks like you have a Salt Lake City sence

I was waiting for the drainage ditch to have a mini flash flood.

awesome, but I would recommend not flashing the ditch lights, UP don't flash it ditch lights.

awesome, you layout is just coming along nicely, and that tug boat looks good.

wow great atmosphere John, you layout looks really good.

looking good, love the concrete.

it really does not matter what you use a base, it is in the painting the makes it. The road in this layout is made using woodland scenic smooth it. sand it smooth, filled some holes. I found a better method of using thin foam sheets, then paint them, using the airbrush. Originally I painted it woodland scenic asphalt but it did not look real enough. I then painted it gray using a latex paint from the the paint store, this was to light, so I got my air brush out and blended UP Armor mist, and gray under primer, with a hint of bunt umber and black. the sidewalk is made from foam sheets cut and scored to create the details, then painted and installed. I made the lines my using white and yellow pine stripes, next time, I will mask and paint instead. To weather the road I used a airbrush with indian ink thinned down with 91% alcohol. I also mixed a small watered down rail brown with 91% and sprayed to make it look dirty. The drains and man holes are stickers, I found at the local hobby store, but to be honest, it would be easier to print and glue some.

Thanks Jack, Layout is on hold, until I work out what I want to do with it, not sure I like my plan.
