  • @BubblyKettle
    @BubblyKettle Рік тому +31

    Looks great! Just a suggestion from someone who also does railway modelling, when you are ballasting the track, take a makeup brush and sweep the ballast until it settles between the sleepers. Most real railways don't have ballast on the sleepers, and I've found that using a small amount of ballast and then brushing it into place makes for a nice, clean track bed. Just my suggestion, the layout still looks great though!

  • @charlessapp1835
    @charlessapp1835 Рік тому +16

    A ballasting tip from a fellow model railroader. Your best friend for ballasting is a 1" foam brush. With the brush you can level off the ballast from off the ties/sleepers. Plus the beveled edge is about the perfect angle for the slope of the ballast.
    Thank you for inspiring me to continue work on my Little Western layout. The benchwork, lighting, and backdrop are done. And I am now in the process of laying down the cork roadbed. Hope to soon start laying track. Keep up all of the hard work reuploading these videos. UA-cam can be such a pain at times.

    The Unlucky tug I'm just telling you this you might disagree with me, but on your real-life model train of James, I know you plan on swapping the tender with flat sides. I want to say I love the Bachman J 11 tender for your James because the way it looks to me it looks unique. I also wanted to ask when you are going to start making videos on your realistic Thomas model train fleet, and I'm pretty sure Donald is complete. I'm pretty sure Douglas is almost complete. I don't know about that if you could give me some answers on that. By posting a reply to this comment. I'd really really appreciate that.

    A bit more than a decade ago my dad started making his own. One of the most fun things about it as a non-builder (apart from occasionally giving trains a ride) is slowly seeing it progress over the years into a better railway. He recently took out the middle station of the three, something that had remained from pretty much the beginning. It was just a basic track layout so that he knew where everything led, and to just first get the entire whole running. But now seeing it get actual station details like ballast and signage is such a beautiful difference. In such a way am I excited to see how yours will look in a few years
