Hi all, first post, I’d be grateful for any ideas about how to make our G Scale railway more interesting from a buildings/scenic point of view, I’ll give you a description of our railway.
it’s an elongated oval with extended sides and one siding, it measures 25ft long, by 15ft wide, it’s raised 2ft 6in on wooden fence posts into metal stanchions with 6X2 timbers on top for the track bed, all is fine, my partner has built a large rockery in and around it with many plants, rocks and water features to make it interesting.
However, we are both a bit frustrated, the railway used to be on the ground on a gravel base, but it was too difficult to keep clean, and we ended up not using it much, we are elderly and I have bad arthritis, and we find it much easier to clean now it’s raised. But we had buildings when it was on the ground to add more interest, but there’s nowhere to put them now, we did think about making girder bridges, or a viaduct, but was wondering how others get around this issue, any ideas appreciated.
