Milwaukee, Racine & Troy HO scale steel cupola caboose - road name 1407
Don’t miss this exclusive HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy steel cupola caboose.
Hello,
I am wondering what brand of ballast was used on the mainline by the river.
Thanks,
Brogan
Dan Sutherland, regarding the overpass, that’s around here https://goo.gl/maps/GrFot2QRfyS2
David, I noticed a highway overpass in the background. I s there any info or video on this?
Excellent ! Will be adding water to my layout!
Something I found on how to fight resin creep? I put Petroleum Jelly on the styrene damn. And for some reason the resin curves down rather than up. I learn that trick from an old MR years back. For a dock scene. But note you only need the Petroleum Jelly around were you plan the top level will be. Something to try.
Excellent as always. Thanks David!!!!!
Where’s the part about using plexiglass for water? Re-looked at the water episodes. I’m using a 2’x4’ suspended ceiling diffuser with a “cracked ice” pattern to show waves but need to paint the back.
James, the answer is no. the water wasn’t supposed to be above the fascia at the far end of the river. If you look at that piece of fascia, you’ll see that I’d let the saw wander of the mark. Before the water was in, it wasn’t noticeable, but now… it’s not that great.
Although I could cut a new one, at this point, I’m already working on a different layout (coming soon), so Canyons will probably stay the way it is for now – also, I’m completely out of fascia paint, and I’ll need to get more to fix it. If I do, I’ll let you know!
Thanks for writing, and Happy New Year!
D.
Looks great David, I like the effects
very informative video, David, thanks for sharing!
Excellent work David and MR gang for making this a true team effort. I would have never thought of using rubbing alcohol to smooth out the ripples, so thank you for this great tip. This will be without a doubt the most detailed project layout effort and I’m curious to see what will be next. 2019 is looking to be a great year in the hobby!
Thank you David and staff for demonstrating several methods for adding water to a layout. The canyons layout has been a great platform for showing different scenery methods and structure building methods whilst creating a realistic representation of Drews adventures in Canada. Thanks.
Love the effect of the ripples in this part of the river. Very realistic .Love the Series.
Thanks MRVP
Was the finished water surface supposed to be 1/4″ above the facia?
