New Layout, Progress in Motion "Summer in the 90s"
Posted by Safety Valve on Friday, May 17, 2019 1:37 PM

Hey all! 

I have been progressing on the new layout, called "Summer in the 90s" or "summer in the 1990s" its been really fun, I got the scenery smoothed down and the track is mostly tacked down and the scenery primed, for  Woodland Scenic's undercoat, and track tacked down Wink (the primer is there to hide the white paint, and its mostly there as an experiment, as I'm interested to see how the undercoat would act with a primer, Smile  which will be the next steps after all the track is tacked down) track in itself was a labor of love, it was well worth the effort. The layout uses 11" radius curves, 5" straights and Switches that are Made in the USA... (the latter pair still works ok! as with all of the track, the switches were a Bargain on eBay, and are 2nd hand, the straights and curves are all new pieces of track) Next step is to get another pack of 11" and 9.75" plus a little flexi track, more to follow very soon.. 

I'm considering a ballast spreader, any suggestions are welcomed Big Smile
