LAYOUT FIT TO SPACE

Designing layouts has many different approaches.  Mine was I had a space 20 x 50 ft that was built for a model railroad HO and how was I going to fit RR into the space.  First the overall design I had seen some were else.  But I had more space and plans for a lot more staging. 

In this picture you are looking at Silverville on left and Rock Ridge on Right.

Bridge For Door Quick and Easy

Many layouts involve coming into a room through a door that the railroad will have to cross.  I have found that duck under as you get older are not the thing we need or want.   Many very ingenious lift up or open up designs and application are truly great, but they do tend for most part to be complicated or past ones skill level. This is an example of a lift out and set aside bridge to cover door openings.

Kit Assembly and Painting by Mike

This is another video of how to assemble and add detail to your kits. In this example masking is a must to create the end result.  Love the roof and how the tar detail comes out.  A little more effort and the structure becomes real.
