Very nice work!! Watching your Layout grow over the past 3 years is pretty cool, you have built some excellent buildings and railroad equipment!! I'm looking forward for what's on tap in the New Year!! A happy and safe New Year to you and your Family!!!
Hi Sheldon , you made another really nice 👍 video about your tank construction project ! I think 🤔 the wall turned out great 😊 ! My idea 💡 for the space behind your tank could be a 2-D flat of a railroad yard building or backdrop photo of rail yard scenes?
Thanks for the video... I really like the tape idea. I also had the same problem with static grass I think I use a different type of glue where it did not stand up or maybe I just didn't have a good enough ground
Very cool build. Was a bit surprised though. Given the “there hast to be an easier way” philosophy , I was surprised to see you expending the work to hand saw all those Lego bricks. Given the needed dimensions were known, I’d have though building a laminated up balsa wood core that gets hardened up with CA glue would have seemed a much easier to do and more controllable build solution. What about the Lego core was so important?
My first inclination was to build a wood frame as you suggest, but my local Michael's craft store was in vert short supply. In the end it wasn't that difficult. I used CA to lock the Lego bricks into position, which provided precise 90 degree corners, the exact width matching the staircase landing, and a very smooth surface for the "peel and stick" cinder block veneer to adhere to.
It's not an industry. It's a storage tank for the diesel shop. If I had the room I would have preferred to include a short spur for tank car unloading (a sand car would have been nice too), but I didn't, so you'll just have to imagine that it is delivered "beyond the backdrop".
