This is an excellent production! However, the FL9 with the parlor car really made me a fan. So, yeah, I hit the button and the bell. I wanna see that unit again!
I really like the way you think out-loud and discuss various ideas you've had as you go. I made a road crossing over 4 tracks with blairline wood crossing, black mat board glued down in between each crossing, and fine woodland scenics cinders over that, and it turned out okay, but I may try your method on the next crossing I need. Thanks!
Thanks Paul - I had considered a similar method, was going to try painting matboard and sprinkle on some cinders while it was wet, there's a always a million ways to get there!
Good video Doug. I'm doing a grade crossing today, using .020 styrene between the code 73 rails. Golden Fiber Paste for an asphalt texture (because I already had it) and then paint grimy black. Celluclay outside the rails. I had an industry too with no way in or out for truck traffic. Nobody ever mentioned it in all the videos I've done but It was bugging me. Take care - Bill.
Do you have a video on how you did the buried track at the front of that scene? I have a factory area in my layout design that needs buried track like that and I'm undecided on how to go about it.
The term "daunting" comes to mind for this project, but you always manage to masterfully make it work and look absolutely natural and comfortably aged as if it's been there forever. On a small scale, of course. I'm guessing you're also thinking of a number of warning signs to prevent a possible tragedy, again on a small scale...HO of course😏🥸
Thanks for another great video Doug! It motivates me to get some work done on my layout.
Thanks Jason!

genius
For code 83 rail , coffee stir sticks are the perfect height. It what I used on my hand laid track.
Will try that next time for sure.
That was a great video.
I saw the wood thickness but I wondered what guage track you used. Great video and very helpful
a tunnel would be cool
Cool stuff! Have you tried thin black or med grey felt for roads? I use that and then weather it with chalk or gravel dust.
Have never tried it but sounds like it could work, will give it a try. Thx for watching.

what did you use to paint the concret?
FWIW, a small block plane is useful for adding bevels/tapers to strip wood. Looking good!
I figured there was a better - safer - way!. Thx for the tip.
