QUOTE: Originally posted by blue aster Hello fellow railroaders out there . My friend Don posted some pictures of my railroad on his website for me . I hope you all view them and tell me what you think . His website is WWW.PLANETDONNSTUDIOS.COM . The railroad is located in Romeoville Illinois a suberb of Chicago. My wife and I started this project in April of this year and as of today most of the bull labor is done. We are now starting to concentrate on scenery . If you notice the subroadbed you will see I used "Dura-rock " cement board fastened to the ground with rebar and twist tied making sure it was at the same level as the rock wall ,which is level . Then it was back filled with 3/4 " roadmix stones. On top of that we put crushed limestone and leveled it with a board as if you were leveling concrete.The track went on top of that . You could drive a truck on it ! Anyway I'll post more pictures soon as we have made more progress since these pictures were taken. Hope you enjoy them .
