I was thinking that one of those roadside produce stands would look great on the foreground end of that field. You could have a few cars parked around it with people shopping, etc. Those things are everywhere in PA - even right on the edge of Philly, Great work!
GREAT JOB Mr. Bennett!!!! I can't tell where the layout ends and the backdrop begins! Nice color texture fade and mix... As far as I am concerned, you are a master sir! Short or long vids, keep them coming!
Excellent scene... For the poles I use the wood from Walmart or hobby lobby i can't remember the name but there little thicker and longer like the old school box of stick matches . The work great painted white or stained
I like the graffitis on the white paint over to cover the graffitis that were there before. Such attentions to details. Edit: I think I like the dioramas more than the trains themselves.
I thought the tunnel for the road way looked great before I saw the picture of the proto type , great job , and looks like many I have seen in real ,, post videos when you are happy enough to post , but around 10 to 15 mins is a great length for a video , thanks for the update , road looks good ,
I definitely love watching the updates and stuff, I'm really really impressed with your layout, progress, love, and detail in the hobby! I was wondering if you could Mabey do a 10-15 minute video of trains running on the track? I would enjoy that! Either way love it!
man...all I can say is awesome stuff...been watching this build from the beginning like I did another now ex railroader...please don't go flymanjg on us and quit...your layout is excellent good sir...learning allot from you...thank you...
Please don't post a video every two weeks. if you can post once a week that would be great. i really look forward to seeing the progress even if it is not much. I would love to see a train pass thru at the end of the video as well. it just ties every thing together. you really are an artist. Thanks for sharing
wow you guys are doing great work!!!! I didn't know you guys lived in PA? Are you guys Eagles or Steelers fans? Your scenery work is awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!!
+model railer Interestingly, neither! I am a Dolphins fan, Steve isn't really into football but sort of likes the Packers, and my youngest son is a Cardinals fan. Up here is definitely Steelers country, so we stay low key...
+Rob Bennett when I drove semi I took my truck to Lambeau Field & got some nice pictures of it in front of the Atrium. got some funny looks when I pulled in & started cleaning it up for the pictures. lol
Looks really good. Amazing what you can do with foam eh? I have built a few structures and sold them on ebay for a lot more than I paid for them and all I used was printed paper, styrene and odds and ends in my parts bin. Most layouts forget the details, everyone thinks big is better, it isn't. Look up Carendt.com and search for a 2'x4' layout, built by a professor in Australia I think. He did New York at 3am. It is amazing. Right down to the lighting and the dew he got it right. Not only that but it features a corner of the Bush terminal building and the tracks go under the edge of the building as in the prototype. Really great stuff and in a tiny space.
LOL about the Pennsylvania roads!!! cant speak for the whole state, but Erie definitely has some roads that do actually look that bad! I love the idea of patched holes, if you wanted to, you could literally make a scene of it, using road crew figures, state highway trucks, and construction cones to direct traffic, and have one lane of the road blocked off like they do in real life!
Hey Stephen you could use this stuff here for signs. Its just plain C channel, its the closest thing I know of to U Strut. www.modeltrainstuff.com/Plastruct-CFS-3-Fineline-Styrene-Channel-3-32-p/pls-90532.htm
