I then began blocking it up with pieces of foam and Sculptamold filler:
I shimmed the track up to level with a piece of corrugated cardboard:
Then I spiked in some individual ties and linked the rail from the trestle to a piece of code 70 flex track:
And finally ran in a loco to test the track:
Then I turned to the area near the engine house where I planned to install a skid shack-style sandhouse I scratchbuilt from a logging plan book:
I have another skid shack I built from a Builders in Scale kit:
The one I scratchbuilt is similar but bigger, and I added posts so I could level it against the hillside:
Next step will be to dirt the sandhouse in and bring more vegetation into the area.
Real nice work John! You continue to exhibit excellent modeling ideas and skills. Nice job!
