At last, I'm starting to make some progress on the layout itself. In this video I'll cover the first stages of putting down balsa for the ground cover around the paper mill.
Thank you! It's nice to start getting some ground on, I'm really looking forward to getting the final surface done, as well as the ballast. Need to start saving for a static grass applicator.
Code 70? Code 75? The difference is a scale 7/16" ()11.5 mm). No one would ever know the difference without a depth mike. Looking good so far. Anxious to see the finished result.
Thank for watching, and for your comment. The main difference between code 70 and 75 track is that the 75 is chaired (British) whilst the 70 is spiked (US), so the eagle-eyed might spot a chaired rail. For those layout it's not something I'll worry about too much! It is starting to look like I might have a finished result one day - doing these videos has definitely pushed me on to make progress.
