Jayman,

Welcome to the forum! Good to have you aboard! [:)]

I'll confess that I was a bit confused at first by your post topic. I thought someone was postiing something about finding a new "rail joiner". [D)] [(-D] [(-D] [(-D]

Welcome to the forums Jayman, good to have you onboard.

Here is a link to some excellent Scenery techniques from one of the masters. It pretty much covers everything you need to know.

Welcome Jayman. The Model Railroader website would be a good starting point. There's many downloadable articles that could help you there.

welcome!...here's some examples of some good books to help you get started..you can order them from www.kalmbach.com

there are too many to cut and paste here...the website has lots of books from benchwork to wiring to scenery...it's best if you read a few of these before you start..it will save a lot of headaches later when you actually start building your layout...chuck
