My last blog about the scenery on my layout grew to over 20 pages, so I figured it was time to start another post. As before, this will continue the coverage of my ongoing scenery work.

Thanks for following along!

ok so i have an n scale layout that uses the 28 piece bridge pier set. what i want to do is make a tunnel  preff out of elmers foam board since i can get it cheap.not sure if i can make a curved tunnel so a straight tunnel would be ok.

my question i guess is where do i start? i wanna do a tunnel to hide some of the track and to give the layout some oomph some wow, im feeling kinda lost never done anything like this before the track is on a 2x4 sheet of MDF

need some guidance

Does anyone have a recommended pixels per inch count for doing custom decals? I'm currently set at 2500 px/inch. Haven't printed yet, and want to know if I'm way over-shooting it with that number or not.

For further reference, current plan is for HO scale decals. I'd take any other suggestions that come to mind as well. Not necessarily planning to print them myself.

I have recently completed track work on my small (2'× 9') switching layout. All track is hand laid and I used fast tracks jigs for the turnouts. My question is this, do I really need to gap both sides of the frog? On of the things that always drew me in with hand laid turnouts was the point rails flowing all the way to the frogs. I just think it looks better that way. Is there a real world practical reason to gap the point rails before the frog?
