Love all the features this online magazine has.  I have been in the hobby for many years, and recently started converting my layout over to DCC.  In the process, I have decided to "revamp" some of the layout and add more trackage as well.  In the past, I have gone up to the Cascade Sub above Oakridge, OR for the fine dirt that I found in the cuts at sidings like Heather, Fields and Wicopee.

I've been having pretty good luck using various colors of sanded grout (has more body than unsanded)  Spread it with a brush, spray it with wet/water (a little soap added). When dry, use a Que-tip shaft cut at an angle to run along the web of the rail and a brush to get it off the tie tops. When it is all clean hit it with some hairspray to totally fix it. Run a rag on the end of your finger with a tiny bit of acetone to clean the top of the rail.  Done!  Also works great on wet plaster or paint-sort of like zip texture with a twist.

Hi Joe,

A while back now, I've purchased the downloadable series of your scenery build series, based on Ten mile Creek. 

One of the subjects I was interested in watching was how you construct the trestle. I've also got the plans and found several of the dimensions on it. I also heard you mention several of the dimensions in the video. 

However, I can't seem to find some of these in the catalog of Evergreen, particularly the larger sizes. Have they stopped making them, or am I making a mistake?
