Detailing Lampson Yard

Tue, 2011-11-15 09:10 — nbrodar

The continuing yard detailing project.

Yard ladder. I added fine ballast to represent walking ballast, as well as weeds:

The tracks themselves, get a rust wash along the rail and a grease wash down the middle, along with weeds and spilled lading. The orange ties represent the clearance points for each track.

Hi everybody

I'd like to build a little layout to represent a New York pier but unfortunately the car float and the apron car float by Walthers are retired; so, I'm looking for plans or drawings or pictures and I will try to scratchbuild them. Can somebody give me a little help?

thanks a lot for your attention!!!!

greetings from Italy

Making Aspens

Sat, 2011-11-12 18:13 — traintalk

I was wondering if anyone on this group has tried using the Scenic Express Yellow Aspen Leaf flock, while making Aspen trees?

http://www.sceneryexpress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=NH07148

Did you like the results, texture and color?

Since Aspen leaves are round, I was looking for flock that is mini round disks.

Hard to tell from their website if their flock is round like I am looking for.

Bob's Railroad work session 11-9-11

For those of you that didn't read previous posts, Bob's Railroad is a toy railroad for the children at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia. A number of generous gentlemen (for now un-named) wanted to do something special for the children at NE Ga Medical Center which is a wonderful hospital about 20 miles from my home. These gentlemen contacted model railroaders in our area to see if we would be interested in building the layout if they provided the money for the materials. What a wonderful opportunity to help the children and have some fun!
