So incredibly awesome. I would love to know how you made your concrete apron and how you made it flush with your track (or how you embedded the track within the concrete). Such a great technique.
Simple...I used pre-mixed Spackle tinted with about 6 drops of black india ink. (You could also use paint to tint the Spackle as well.) After mixing thoroughly, I poured it on the layout and spread it even with a steel ruler. Next, I cut flange space with a toothpick while still wet and after it dried, I sanded it smooth and cleaned the rail heads with a fine grit sanding block.
Much slower transitions would help in viewing it. Great LAYOUT, gives me ideas for my small 10 foot long by only 30 inches wide layout. I am stuck in a rut with ideas.
Thanks Eli! The tan base: I used strips of roofing paper (about 2mm thick) that are cut to fit. After fitting, I painted with Krylon Matte Tan and dusted with real dirt. I wanted the tracks to be "in the ground", without using up too much of my dirt. The roads are cardboard and the concrete slabs are made from drywall mud (Spackle).
Love the layout!
Looks really good!
It's crazy that the heavily weathered railbox car is the prettiest car on the layout!
Thanks Derek!

Nice layout. Horrible music...sounds like synthetic deathly funeral parlor.
