do you all remember your first train set on a board with only your imagination to fill in the blanks.
well that is my scenery I just dream of what it is and knowing someday it just might happen.
I do like seeing all that others here have done gives me ideas and sometimes a how to do mine in a certain problem area now if I can just do it ahhhh there in lies the trouble motivation past running the layout.
Curious .... what material did you use to make the irregular road and the in between the tracks in the first picture??
Telephone booth came with the people and benches, model power brand. it was originally yellow plastic, but i thought it looked cheap so I painted it red.
Srguy, not sure if you were asking about mine, but my road is acrylic paint, applied directly to my table top. I mix random tones to give it variations of the gray tone. I sprinkle sand into the wet paint and paint over. I put "cracks" in the pavement by streaking with charcoal and smoothing with a dry brush. The station tracks have strips of 1/16" balsa cut for proper wheel clearance inbetween the rails (sorry can't recall the dimension) and brought up to the proper height with shims of cardboard. this allows me to taper the approach to the platform and make the transition from ballasted mainline track to the street surface/station track.
