Question on an article in the November CTT

[rlplionel]

Thanks for the replies. I will get in touch with East Coast Enterprises to find out how they built the elevated line.

Neil and Bob are indeed enroute to York, PA -- a new Brown Hall location (B4) -- but Roger and I are still keeping an eye on things back at CTT HQ…

Although I can't tell you exact what the elevated section was made from, I can tell you that Micheal Salnick's layout was custom crafted by Rich Roman, the owner of East Coast Enterprises. If you contact Rich (www.trainlayouts.com or 973-366-5788), I bet he could tell you exactly what material he selected, along with why and how he used it.

Looks to me like molding used to put above wall paneling.
It's what they call ogee molding.
comes in different sizes.
Hope it helps?

rlplionel, maybe some of the gang can help you. As far as CTT staff, not sure who is "minding the shop". Bob Keller is off to York this week. Bob usually watches this forum.

This question is regarding the layout article "Lights! Trains! Action!, beginning on page 59. There is a full page photo on page 61 that shows a curved, elevated track. There appears to be some sort of vinyl material wrapped around the curve with a guardrail on top. I was wondering if anyone knew what these marterials are and where I can find something similar? I would like to do something along those lines on my layout's upper level.
