I look forward to hearing from you!
great update my vote is for structures. as for the hobby lobby trees I've found if you dry brush some gray and light brown on the trucks it gets rid of the plastic look and add some flocking or super leaves they look allot better.
I can see the layout is really coming together nicely now.. I think the post it notes are a good idea to help remember what has been done and a talking point. I was actually watching that video you mentioned at the start of your video on my Friday arvo here.. in Melb. My vote for this session is more structures please... enjoy your weekend and talk soon.
Hi K & W Railroader & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks K & W Railroader & Friends Randy & Oil Refinery & K & W Railroader & Friends Randy
Everything is looking good. I would like for you to pick one section of the layout, town, main line or yard, and finish the building and start a little scenery. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
I would spend more time in the power plant area and the oil refinery area 😊 . On a side note …… the trees would very nice in background , they would blend in nicely. I also use “ O “ scale pine trees in the foreground ……. To show forced prospective…… that would be kool !!! 😊
@@KraigSickels Vote recorded! Thank you! I'd considered N scale trees for that purpose in the background, but not O scale in the foreground...I'll have to consider that.
Structures. I don’t know. I didn’t see anything written on those post its and you didn’t pick them up after you talked about it. I would have found a blank post it and not remembered what to talk about and then because I left it there I would go back to it and talk about it again, lol.
@@derekalexander4030 LOL! I almost did write down a note on each post-it but was afraid that would distract ME too much trying to read the note and not get tripped up talking while recording. Got you down for structures. Thank you!
@@rickyhammond36 LOL.. that could be necessary, but I plan to reuse them. They weren't stuck anywhere anyway. I might try to think of something more RR appropriate though.
Keep working on the buildings, They are the foundation for the railroad .
@@Mark-z5m3e Vote recorded! Thank you!
Great update! Stickies are not an issue in the slightest, you do you. I vote for track weathering and ballast.
@@schadowolf Glad you don't mind! Thank you for your vote!
