Ah, the joys of July heat and humidity in Missouri. The perfect weather for staying inside with the A/C running, and do a little work on the layout.
Affixing the ballast with 90% isopropyl alcohol and Woodland Scenics Scenery Cement:
I am going the cheap route and decided to make my own timber grade
crossings. These are craft sticks with some holes drilled into it, and
some score lines to simulate individuals ties. An AI wash was applied
and allowed to dry before attaching them to the track. Glued these down
with ACC. The road bed is made from foamcore board with the top layer
peeled off. A fillet of spackling was added for the shoulders. Once
dried, paint will be applied and fine dirt will be sifted onto the wet
paint.
It is good to be working on the layout again.
Until next time,
Tom
