    You've probably heard this already. But, the weed that you refer to is actually a Flower, all be it, a Wild one. Commonly know as: Queen Anne's Lace, botanically known as "Dacrus Carota." You may even want to call it a vegetable, since it has the fragrance of a carrot at the bottom. It blossoms white and it's inflorescence resembles lace. Very pretty. Now you know

    You are a good teacher; have a great show; and I learn a lot from you. But, you have me totally confused. You had one set-up, that I was following where you tore it down. No problem, I appreciated that and thought you were correct and brave in doing it. Then you started another one, But, you explained exactly what happened. I appreciated that. You started this second one, that I thought would be absolutely cool. It was the one where you were in the middle and the table laid around you. I was really looking forward to watching that develop. After Two episodes, I opened the the third episode, and it was totally different, but, it was like the L shaped one, that you just discarded. It was as if you went backward. This was very disconcerting to me and, you explained nothing. I really didn't appreciate that. What is going on with that?

      Thank you! Well Ive made a lot of layouts in the past few years and have documented them all as you have seen! I’m actually working on a completely new one which is my 5th layout in 3 years. The one where I’m standing in the middle surrounded by the tables was far too big for the room and was made horribly. I also didn’t have time to work on it when I made it so it sat for a long time. I decided to move on which was a better decision! Hope this explains things a little bit better

    I found your channel this week and just finished watching and liking literally every video. I learned so much. Also learned my layout has a lot of room for improvement, including my EZ track layout. I need more realism and am less nervous about after watching yours. So cool...You should add a "Guest Book" to your layout like you saw at the Colorado Model RR Museum. Binks obviously the first guest, but everyone who comments on a vid could be added. Could be cool.

    I’ve found a much better product than Woodland Scenics Smooth-It for making streets and highways for model railroads: Red Devil OneTime Lightweight Spackle. It’s pre-mixed. No fuss, no mess. Just apply with a putty knife between the paving tape (though I do recommend masking tape underneath that if applying to a plywood base). It sands easily with much less dust, and takes paint beautifully. Why mix a powdery product that usually winds up in your lungs when you don’t have to!

    you forgot to spray rubbing alcohol to lock the ballast in place. if you just add scenic glue it sometimes can lift the ballast grains. It also helps disperse the glue throughout the ballast.
