QUOTE: Originally posted by ham99 I put the trestle in place first, and then added the scenery. The foam making up the rough shape was in place first, then the trestle, then the Sculptamold, next the ground cover, and last was the water pour. It was kind of close quarters [N scale] for shaping the Sculptamold under the trestle, but I shaped it with a 1/8" dowel and it turned out fine. I blew the ground cover [WS turf] into place with an ear syringe. The alcohol and glue/water went in with a eye dropper.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Tweet469 I built mine as I did the scenery. I formed up footings with balsa and poured them with plaster just like concrete. My trestle bent bases were installed with about a 1/2" of the pilings down in the plaster. Stringers and some extra support held them while the plaster set up. Added the ground cover before I laid the ties and track to be able to get it down aroung the bents good. Worked pretty good.
