Very Nicely Done. ... I've been searching for alternate methods without using plaster as a base for my ground cover. I'll just use the plaster for rock outcroppings as I have a ton of plaster chunks (large and small) left over from dismantling my mountains a few years ago. I was looking for a way to use paper towels and soaking them in something other then plaster to form a base for grass and ground cover on steep hillsides. Have you ever used this method with soaking paper towels in the while glue mixture? Thanks... Phil Jersey Shore Area
Thanks Ray. I'll post a video illustrating completing the vegetation on the Paper/Glue method soon. Yes, I did make a video about direct current train control using an old power pack with malfunction reostat and a new pulse width modulator for throttle control. The PWM worked great during a past show with the public running the trains on my Inglenook Switching Puzzle.
The On48 is running fair. I decided to add snow to all of my scenery. I used plaster and we all know what a pain in the neck raw plaster can be for maintaining good track conductivity. I am working on ideas to permanently seal the snow/plaster to prevent future dust. I'll let you know how it goes.
The O-scale dual gauge is running fine. This video was the result of needing to get scenery finished so my grandchildren can see the trains running. The kids are why the bench height is so low, mid-thigh on me.
Very interesting and neat technique for landscaping. Thanks for sharing I'll be trying this on my railway.
hm...i might try this! thanks for the share :)
Thank you.
[thank, you for you're great helpful video]👍
The plaster cloth looks better but it's up to the builder good job
You are right. Cloth looks better as is more durable. But I have already revised this area and have no regrets about material lost.
Plastic or wire mesh and spray foam for those rocky outcrops 👍

Hi Dave. Very interesting will have to try it. Did you make a video on the different DC throttles? Enjoy the day. Ray L.

Thanks Ray. Yes, I made the pulse width modulator for DC control. But, now I can't find it. Oh well.
cool technique. today I learned 👍
Oop's, Ya forgot to cover the rails with painters tape...
How is the On48/On30 running?
