Jerry-

Great footage of your turbine, that looks like a layout I can relate too[;)]. Could you tell me how you hosted a video clip. Is it the same as posting a picture on the internet, thanks.

Daan,
Great forest! What did you use for the trees?

Jim, I use plastic prefab trees, made by Busch (no kidding). It's basicly a 2D tree where the branches can be bend in all different directions. Then simply spray it with glue and add foilage. By using foilage and woodland turf the trees look more realistic.
It's a real cheap solution, costs are below $7 for 10 trees.
(Dutch people are always trying to find bargains[:D])

Layed track outside but so cold didn't get all of the tracks connected to the warehouse tracks.





So I went inside and worked on some other tracks



The next day I visited Union Station in DC and took these images of real trains and G scale train running inside station

David--

Thanks for the pics, excellent as always. About how many feet do you think you will have on your outside layout? Everything looks terrific!

thx Jon,

I'm starting out small with a 100 ft mainline; O % elevation so I can run British live steam in the future.

I'm going to get the plants and trees perfect and then do a much larger loop of about 300 feet that will include grades, bridges over pond and real waterfalls and much more.

The handlaying slows the whole process but DIYers think it's worth it.

Nice work David, specially the Live Steam is very interesting..[;)]
