This post is covering all of your videos. I just wanted to thank you for all of the great videos you have made. The background looks EXCELLENT, as well as the consistent updates,and the How-To videos.
Thanks so much! Comments like yours makes it all worth it! I really appreciate it. I am learning things as I go along and love to pass things along and help out. Encouragement like yours keeps me interested in the hobby and making videos. I really appreciate it! Deryk
I worked doing auto body as teen early 20s. You can find masking tape 1/4 in and smaller. Commonly found in magazines like Summit Jegs and jc whitney. Used for lining multiple paints apart keeping lines crisp smooth. Easier to bend around curves no matter how Sharp. Great video BTW 😁.
Close to a 1/32 of an inch.Thanks for sharing this.A good time saving way instead of using vinyl or wood shims.This method gives the train a more realistic look leaning in rounding the curve as the prototypes do.
Man, you Rollin thru on the layout expansion. Great how to. I don't elevate my track since its a switching. Good job, look forward to see the rest. Mike
Thanks Mike! I worked on it a lot over the holiday weekend. I was hoping to have the mainline track layed today but track laying was taking longer than expected. I am very picky when it comes to that. It has to look good and function perfectly. I believe in doing it right the first time. Talk to you soon. Deryk
You are welcome Brian. I guess I should have mentioned you in the video but I wasn't sure if you minded or not. I don't know about you, but I am a visual learner and thought this could help a little more. BTW, I made one of your trammels and it worked like a charm! Thanks again, Deryk
I don't mind if you mention me. It was great to see how you actually apply the masking tape. I have all of the cork down now and will be laying track soon so your how-to could not have come at a better time!! Thanks for posting it. Glad I could help you with the trammel - it's a neat little tool!!
I apologize, I misspoke in the video. Each strip of tape is 8 thousandths. I believe I built the layers up to 6 or 8 strips of tape. You can build it up to as high as you prefer.

Superelevation makes curves look more natural. I just used cardboard to elevate them, I am impressed by the accuracy you are elevating them with. 👍
Thanks! Many different methods for doing it. Thanks for sharing yours.

vunny
Thanks Vinny! I was hoping to be further along by now, but I'm getting there.

Thanks for sharing this tip, Deryk. I will be using this! =)
No problem John! Thanks for watching! =)
Thanks for sharing!! how many layers of masking tape did you use at the hight point?
8 thousands of an inch equates to 0.2mm. Is there any point, can you see the locos rise on the curve at all?

Thanks for reply, yes that makes more sense. I elevate mine to 1.5mm (7.5 strips of tape by your method). Good video otherwise. Best wishes.
Lookin good man . What happends if you lay the masking tape under the cork road bed to super elevate the curve ?
Thanks Randy! I imagine it would work the same way.
interesting!
Thank you!
looks like it works....
