As you can see i start like this to creating landscape by working up to the station area. I guess it works better way since i can focus and decides by taking an step at a time.

Being a 3 railer I don't know exactly how it's done. Keep posting your progress I shall use an Lenz electronic reverse loop automatic circuit. For turnouts i use Tortoise motor by connecting with DC power at 12VDC. Because Tortoise motor has 12VDC power. Of course i can use too with turnouts decoder like Lenz LS150 or Marklins k84.

You have been a member since:: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 3,766 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi Goffy, That is very neat work overall, and will certainly be a good foundation for displaying your model vintage trains. The grey timber is quite correct. In our country, it tends toward a darker colour, but that depends on the species of timber. I really like it. regards Kimball

One concern I've spotted is the plastic holder (if it is plastic) for your electrical wires. In case of a short this could melt and eventually catch fire ? just a precaution matter. regards., John

I did found out that dirty looks much more realism when there is traffic on the track. So rust is vanished! Sorry about missunderstanding from my side. It was just to much rust on the rail. But in station area where there is stabling tracks i guess there is some rust.
