Enjoying the layout updates. The cardboard weave is one of the cheapest and best scenery tricks under the plaster cloth. You can also stuff newspaper wads under it if you need it to hold shape. (I do pull the paper out after the plaster is dry thru an access point)
Thanks again . Made laying in the hospital Tolerable even if for a few minutes brother. . Sence when I get out I won't be able able to get up stairs to work on my big lay out in going to make a small switching yard down stairs while I heal .
Things are coming along there Jimmy. When I started laying track a while back I tested like your saying but unfortunately all I had was 4 Axl engines. Now I have a couple 6 Axl and they can't manage over half + of my layout 😤. O well time for a redo. I'll definitely be doing more testing with my biggest engines. Anyway keep having fun, Chris
Great update and thank you for the techniques. I have found caulk at the Dollar Store. Yes it’s $1, but it works in this application. Keep up the great videos.
Couldn’t help but notice you had a bit of a problem getting the hot glue to hold when doing your weave. I use clothes pins to hold the two pieces of cardboard in place while the glue cures. I can go quickly to the next junction without waiting. One added advantage is that I don’t burn my fingers if excess glue oozes out.
Good update Jimmy- remember black with two sugars!
Sorry Jimmy: Just can’t resist. Drinking my Community “signature Breakfast Blend” with heavy cream! Rail on man!

Amazing work as always
Gray wash cloths, nice tip. From the outtake, you can have your trains wherever you want. Lol. Thanks for the update!
Great video Jimmy, thanks for the tips.

Jimmy's "laboring" On this Labor Day
Haha! My guy doesn’t skip a beat!
Looking great buddy! Always a great way to start the week watching your videos
Train isn't unrealistic on an incline....railroading in the mountains.....stop signals are everywhere! I've been there and done that.
love that plaster cloth stuff. covers gaps or make a mountain, It does it all
Thank you for showing your progress on the layout. Just got back from fishing and watching while I clean fish. 🐟
GOD BLESS🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

Another way to make mountains is to use fiberglass screen materiel, cheap and easy to work with, also no need for the messy cloth
Where do you buy your fiberglass screen material?
@@BASILPANAS any hardware store should have some
Ok. Thanks
What do you use over the screen?
@@paulrgreenwald8073 Plaster of paris or scultimold
