Midland & Dorchester — N Scale Shelf Layout November 2020 Update
Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great start to the holiday season so far. Here is the November 2020 update on my n scale shelf layout. Thanks for taking a look!
What is your opinion about best way to make Super Trees.
It is tree making time and I opened up the first box of Scenery Express Super Trees. I was planning on spraying the trees with grey primer, then spraying diluted matte medium on them, and then sprinkling the leave material. I also thought I would try the hairspray technique. The instructions that came with the trees however, says to soak the trees in diluted matte medium and then sprinkle the leaf material on from above and then allow the trees to dry upside down attached to a clothesline. This seems complicated and messy.
Update: Less is More WIP
The track into the downtown area on my layout, the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale is laid and ballasted. I removed several sidings to give the area a simpler, less cluttered look. More below.

Customizing a Walthers Cornerstone to represent a Local Company.
I decided after I bought the add on silos for the Walthers Cornerstone ADM Concrete Grain Elevator to give me a 2x8 configuration, I wanted to represent a local company known as Riceland. Riceland's HQ is located in Stuttgart, AR and served as a major industry on the St. Louis Southwestern or formerly known as the Cotton Belt and still in service by the Union Pacific today.
Christmas Decorations for Lamp Posts
It is almost December so time to put up some Christmas decorations on my HO layout. This past year I got the last of the lamp posts up. So many towns and communities decorate their posts so why not do it in HO.
The process is simple, just need some time.
Tools used include a hot wire cutter, knife, cutters.
You need some extruded foam, couple of washers, craft paints, glue, fine turf, “dots” for decorations, thin wire.
Less is More! WIP.
Weekend WIP! Tearing up the tracks to the downtown area on my layout, Trenton Subdivisionin N scale. The area was too crowded, removing some of the sidings, opening up some space and adding additional feeder wires. Less is more!
