Free-moN Staging Yard - 16"x10'

Thanks for the kind words, BF.
And glad you find the videos helpful.
They're fun to make :)

Here's the other 45 I'm scenicking.





Same deal: needs bushes, tufts, etc. (that's today) but you get a sense of the scene.
Think I'm going to leave the creek dry, though I can always put some water in later.
And at some point I might cut the concrete culvert out and install an old A-frame trestle.
We'll see.

Now to figure out where the short is in the storage yard!

I stand in awe, and am humbled by your industriousness, creativity, attention to detail and problem solving.  I'd like to make a small contribution that could help simplify a recurring complication.

Wax paper.

When you're clamping two modules together for scenicing, you're always worried about gluing the two together.  before you clamp 'em, put some wax paper between them.  It's very thin, and will prevent the modules from becoming too fond of one another.

I do love wax paper!

Probably one of the most useful household items for model railroading!
I use it a lot for scratchbuilding: lay it over the plan I drew on cardstock and then build the wooden structure over it so the woodglue doesn't stick to the paper.

Wax paper might work between sections while scenicking, though I find just remembering to unclamp the section right after scenicking works well, as then you can wipe the drips off the section plates.

Of course, remembering to unclamp is the key, and wax paper would help while scenicking after the 2-3 beer :)
