Thanks, hi to Canada

In the UK that would be called a "Blue-Peter Moment".

Get down Shep lol

Thanks

Perfect

Lol, no intention to do snow, but thanks

It's worth a try, you might also try a thin layer of ready mix filler on the paper to give you some texture?

@@BudgetModelRailways Good idea, thanks. The combination of the filler and the glue might give the paper a harder structure.

Good luck I am sure you will, don't plan, just build it!

Thanks,more planned

Hi, it's amazing what you can make cheaply once you get your head round it, glad we could help, have fun.

Thanks Tim

Thanks

Thanks, it is easy really, some people prefer to make it look hard.

@@BudgetModelRailways I do believe the hardest part is deciding what to put where, and sticking to it. There are always going to be better layouts and layout ideas coming up - one really has to focus on the here and now rather than constantly changing🤣

Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks Greg

Thanks

Thanks

It might be called something different, poly filler, or spackle?

Check any DIY store for ready mixed drywall compound or wall patch repair. You can find it in tubes or a 16 oz container the size of a yogurt or pint ice cream container. Don't be tempted to buy the 5 gallon bucket. It'll get unworkable or even moldy if it sits too long.

Thanks

It's worth a try

Thanks

The shape came from simply drawing round the Kato track bed. The height is determined by the nessceary height needed to go over the tunnel. So you have the shape cut out in foam board and the verticals. The walls are cereal packet card so it will bend, covered with stone effect card. Individual bricks and corner stones cut from Brown cereal packet card stuck on to make the arches. All pretty straight forward but very time consuming!

Sorry do you mean how did I work it out, or how did I make it?

How did you work it out

Measure the height of your tallest loco or rolling stock Inc the height of your track and ballast, that is your height for the top end plus a few mm to be on the safe side. Make a block from card, wood polystyrene etc the same height and the width of the road and about twice as long. The starting point for the bottom end was the height of the track at the level crossing, helpfully the same thickness as a piece of foam board. Draw your road shape on a piece of thin card, stick the end on the high block with a weight on it and do the same at the low end. When its dry add supports every so often from card or foam board cut to the relevant height. Simple really, don't plan it build it, its what nature does.

I am the same with fabric felt! This is foam so does not have the squeak etc

I get it with shiny white paper, like the sort you get in some books. I am getting the shivers and feeling sick just writing about it!

Nylon fabric does it to me! I'm getting the willies just thinking about it!

That was sometime ago I bought them. Most retailers have the chassis at £20-25 try Osbournes or Traintrax

Kato does a production run of a chassis. Unfortunately, profiteers buy them up in huge lots at a cheap price then wait for the shortage to occur. I saw the 11-103 chassis going for over a hundred dollars before the updated 11-109 chassis was introduced.

Thanks
