Foam roadbed and fascia are being installed on The Hills Line. I decided to use underlayment plywood for the fascia since I wanted something a little more rugged than masonite and didn’t need to curve the material. The plywood is 1/4 inch thick and was comparable in price to tempered masonite. The foam is attached to the benchwork with Loctite PowerGrab. The fascia is glued as well as brad nailed to create one solid structure.

Building my first layout and wondering if you can mix Atlas and Peco code 83 track and turnouts?

Thanks for the guidence

I wanted to share with you the mid-conclusion point of one of my longest modeling projects.

Finishing up changing the car wash model to something else...

Finally, more trees are going in on the Hitop, most being from Scenic Express. A few are Grand Central trees:

After writing my initial post here, I took a job in the UK and now live in Northwest London. One of the nice things about V-scale model railroading is that there wasn't any packing to do beyond transferring the files to my laptop so I could keep working until my household goods caught up with me. Having carted a good bit of HO stuff with me during my military moves in the 80s and 90s, I found it very pleasant to make a move without any worries about damaged models!

This post will talk about the layout design, with the bulk of the write up and a map in the first comment.

Hi! I´ve been working on a city scene featuring a cobble stone road. The first part has been completed, so I made a video tutorial of how it was done.

I have not built a layout of my own for over twenty years as most of my Hobby time was taken up building locos for other people, and also running a small casting company doing detail parts for locos in 1:43 scale. If you haven't already worked it out I am in the UK, and with retirement from working on the full size railway I decided to do something completely different. My workshop is not that big so doing standard gauge was out of the question, but narrow gauge in O scale would work, so ON30 it is(with a bit of O-16.5 thrown in).
