Back in the Saddle again! GB&W layout update
Hey gang !
I have posted the most resent progress on my construction of my Green Bay and Western on Youtube. Back in January I was involved in a auto accident which affected my mobility and my manual dexterity so I was not working that much on the layout.
Construction is moving along and I will be working harder during the next couple of months to prepare for our November open house layout tour.
thanks Paul B
water
Hey Gang!
What's the best way to model deep water?..I want to make the water for my GB&W Fox River Crossing and would like it to be over 1" thick. I was looking at Envirotex light and multi pours.Is there anything better out there?
Also will the material attack the pink foam river edges?
thanks Paul B
GB&W Fox River Swing Bridge part #2
would this be Scenery-Structures? Trackwork? Benchwork?
work progress continues slow but steady!

Mocking up some foam core buildings to make sure everything fits.
