Here's some old footage that I've been meaning to upload for a long time! Sorry that I was not able to show the spray adhesive being applied. Somehow that video got lost, but it's as easy as spraying the can and giving it a moderate covering. After applying the glue, let it set for 5 minutes and then you're ready to apply the backdrop. Of note, apply the glue to the backdrop and NOT the backboard for a better finish. Thanks for watching! - Josh

It's really AMAZING how much depth and realism a photo backdrop adds to a layout. Very nice job you guys and love the video!
I know! It really isnt that much work and makes it look 100x better. Thanks for the kind words!
THANK YOU...for sharing. What a difference backdrops make. Trackside is one of the best.
Wow. The back drop made a huge difference. I especially like the view with the high hood SD40-2 moving past. The background looked like real trees.
Always enjoy watching your videos . One of the most detailed out there for sure .
Excellent job on the backdrop Josh, looks like Tom might have had a helping hand in there.
Thanks! That was great! I had just yesterday decided to use Trackside Scenery products. Then you post the video! Absolute perfect timing!
Haha definitely great timing! I'm sure you'll be happy with the decision. We love ours. Thanks for watching! -Josh
Great basic how to. Love how it turned out.
Great video Josh! I love your clear step by step installation and helpful tips.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching! -Josh
Great looking product. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah....Joey Ricard. I've seen a lot of his vids.....seems like a great guy to work with. Thanks for confirming that point!
Nice! Really Nice! Congrats on Scale Trains using your layout to promote their
Dash 9.
I really need to add a backdrop; that looks awesome!
You both have done a excellent job so far I look forward to seeing your next video
Thanks!
Nice video, good information on “how to” thanks for your time.
Very nice job. Love the quality of these backdrops 👍
Ali Muhammad yes sir I enjoy many modelers. Of all ages. I even watch some of the young Thomas the tank and LEGO train enthusiasts! 😃
Ali Muhammad hey they’re pretty neat
Ali Muhammad unfortunately something happened and it got deleted 😩😩 I was not happy about it at all. However I do plan on doing the ballasting live maybe this weekend? I can do a recap on the process of installing it though. Sorry buddy.
Ali Muhammad yeah I was totally bummed over it. I’m new to the live streaming. So I’m learning🤨 I have a video I started to make that shows me cutting out the straight sections. But it ends abruptly and I’m terrible at editing. Lol.
Ali Muhammad yeah that’s my hope. I enjoyed it. I don’t have to mess with editing as much. Bc for some reason my old azz can’t figure it out!🤨🤨
The backdrop I just made looks like crap compared to this. Outstanding work! Now I gotta redo mine.
Very Good Man, Congratulation....
Wow!!!Super modellrailroad.Thanks. Budapest,Hungary,John
Thanks for watching John!
Great job guys! It looks great. Sounds like some music from Luke Towan's videos. Cheers, Dan
Thanks Dan! If there is overlap, it's likely because we use the same video editing software! Cheers, Josh
Great video!
Thanks Charlie!
Hey Josh do you think a amateur modeller like me could start a car business like you
Great video! Backdrop looks amazing. May I ask what the name of the music in the video is?
I believe it's called acoustic sunrise. It is part of the library that came with my editing software. Thanks!
Josh, I need to put Masonite up on a painted concrete block wall so I can apply this type of Backdrop.
Do you think the 3M Spray would hold the Masonite to the wall or best to use some Liquid Nails Contact Adhesive in a Tube and Spread it with a plastic blade?
I think the 3M spray will hold it, but since that probable isnt the most flat, it would probably show through the relatively thin backdrop and cast some shadows. But that's not to say you shouldn't do it. If you have the option to add a flat surface (like masonite) I would definitely recommend it, but if not I still think it would be better than no backdrop at all. I don't have any experience with the liquid nails, so I'm not sure how that would work. Sorry!
NSmodeler24 so you’re saying Don’t use Masonite for the Backdrop Board material?
Here is my 2 cents. (This is Dad) I would use liquid nails to apply the Masonite to the wall and I would use a madonary screw every foot or so. Try to find a flat head screw so it is flush with the surface of the Masonite. Then use the 3M 77 to glue the backdrop to the Masonite. That should keep everything quite secure. Even though the liquid nails should work on it's own, I tend to like the backup of physical attachments. Nothing ever comes apart after that and it seems to keep everything together during expansion and contraction periods.
Tom.
Make that "masonary" screws!
I think I fat fingered that one!🤔
Wow, how can I get my ns dash 9s to turn into bc rail dash 8-40cms.
The background photo makes a big difference.
Nice video josh
Thanks Garrin!
@@nsmodeler24 no problem but come to the fire truck festival at nctm if you can it is in spencer and I am going to it
Is that your cn dash 8 also?
Yes it is. It can be seen in detail in one of my previous how-to videos on weathering. Thanks for watching. -Josh
putting a good backdrop on a model railroad is like adding bacon to a double cheeseburger
Can barely hear you!
