    First attempt -Wow! Looks great!
    I watched the whole video and that tippling brakeman never once put down that bottle. That’s what I call Focus! Nerves of Steel, obviously!

    I like this design and layout and it looks very real because I have seen that you have mostly real plants. The locomotive is very fine.
    Very well done.

    What is the footprint of this layout? I want to try to make something similar for my new on30 train, gonna be a renegade logger theme. My first dcc, I’m excited. I’m also challenged in the “unused square footage” category, my place is small. Is 2’x4’ unrealistic in on30 with a grade/hill climb and a tunnel?

    Wonderful and fun scenes! How did you model the water?

    • @carlroberts2539
      @carlroberts2539  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Shane, the water was a total accident, I did the usual, a coat of plaster then painted it and then applied one coat of matt varnish, knowing it would take about six coats, but the first one took a couple of days to dry. So I got fed up and just poured it on (quite thick). As it was drying, it started to ripple, I thought, that's a result. and have used it a couple of times since. I would recommend the cheapest varnish you can get. Happy modelling.
