Hi All,

Well as mentioned in our main layout construction blog I have also started a small module for developing my skills in modelling for eventual use on our main layout.  The module itself is 35" x 23" (900mm x 600mm), the idea is to incorporate all of structures, roads, land forms, and scenery on the module that will be on the layout.

Guys (and Gals),

I finally mixed my first batch of Lou Sassi's Ground Goop.  I actually did a double portion, to give it a go and see how I like scenicking with it.  I've read Lou's Basic Scenery for Model Railroaders many times and I think his methods are interesting and his great results attainable, even for a scenery "noob" like me.

There are a few scenes where there will be trackage crossing over the mainline perpendicular to the aisle and backdrop, and therefore the track will end up going into the backdrop.   And in addition, some of these scenes will be attempts to recreate what it looked like in 1953.  The problem is many of the locations that had trackage, no longer does.  Though the right of way is somewhat visible, the trackage has been ripped out and the right of way has deteriorated.  So my question is, how does one recreate these scenes so the trackage appears to continue once t
