I start scenery. Weathering the track on the extension, ballast
and basic ground cover to get it started.

Awesome, my wife is a certified Bob Ross Instructor. I operated in a layout last November which had a Bob Ross National Forest sign…
Wow, what a difference all that makes!! Thumbs up.
THANK YOU GREAT DETAILED VIDEO AS GREAT WATCHING ALL TIME
Wow, you are mucous fast! Looks awesome!!!!🫵✌️
happy 10 year anniversary , love all the videoes !! HAPPY NEW YEARS
Looking good. 👍
This is the Joey I grew up with!
Feels good to be back at it. Other than a couple of dioramas, it's been since I built the Spruce layout that I really did significant modeling or scenery.
Looks good.......I'll use some of that on my O3r layout.
Hey Joey! The layout is coming along nicely! Thanks for showing the track weathering process again. Looking forward to the next update! - Brian
Nicely done
Looks awesome!!! Love the updates keep ‘em coming.
Thanks for the method you use to detail your track. I'll investigate the older videos. I haven't detailed my track yet, and I like your approach. As you say, it should work on my HO railroad. I'll let you know.
It will, and be sure to check out one of our weathering track video where I do this in N Scale. That's a tough scale to pull off anything with texture, but it works convincingly enough.
Dear Joey, always a pleasure to see you transform regular plastic fantastic track from clown stage to deeply weathered spurs. Awesome transition!!
I think it turned out really awesome nice technique 👍👍
You’ve got some interesting scenery techniques. I like how the chalky wash on the rails gives it some texture, which you pointed out in the older videos if I recall correctly. I can’t help but wonder if my latest batch of backdrops were in there getting printed while you did this! 😊
Can’t wait for the next update. Thanks for the email response to my many questions! You are a class act taking time to respond!
My Pleasure!
Happy New Year Joey and good jobs of getting your rocks off lefthanded. 10:52 mark 😁
You know that was take two as I only said rocks off. Then I was like " I better change that:.
Looks great Joey! I practiced your weathering technique on a piece of flex track to make sure I was comfortable doing it and it turned out looking awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice work and techniques, after seal with hairspray? how do you clean rails for contact of the electric?
I just use 400 grit sandpaper or one of those cleaning blocks.
First!
Exciting about the scenery! Question: How do you connect the switch machines to the foam?
I think I quickly showed in video (a few back) where I use a small basswood plate made to fit on top of the machine.
I glue that plate to the machine and as I install, I put construction adhesive on it. It hold it underneath just enough to the foam for me to adjust if needed. I can then put a couple of little screws in to hold it will the adhesive dries. I laser cut the plates, but you can easily cut 1/8th basswood by hand and drill holes based on where the wire comes through and a couple for screws.
@@tracksidescenery Thank you! I was unsure I could use switch machines with just a foam top. I’ll give this a try in the future!
I would have painted the rails before I installed them. I would have "finished" the ties after they were glued. This would gain me two items. The rail spikes could be seen, and there'd be no need for touch up. At my age, going on 78, I try to find the quickest way to get a job done because you never know if there's enough time to finish the job!
Sometimes I do that, but in this case it's for video. And we can safely assume that most folks will do it after the track is laid. If you watch that weathering track video, you'll see I am doing it beforehand.
