Wondering what peoples opinions are on my first attempt at weathering my track and a bridge... To weather the track, I airbrushed the whole thing with Polly Scale Roof Brown, then I drybrushed the tops of the ties with 1:1 Polly Scale Reefer White and Earth. After that was done I handbrushed...

Thanks George, looks great! I can get the Chalk from my local hobby store but the Dull Cote may be a problem... I don't know of anywhere that stocks it in Australia. Is there anything that could be used as a substitute? Also, speaking of substitutes, Im looking for a substitute for Polly...

I need some advice on how to weather a bridge. I purchased the Vollmer Arch Bridge and sprayed the whole thing Polly Scale Grimey Black. I would like to know what I should be doing next. I have a book called "How To Build Realistic Model Railway Scenery" By Frary, but it only goes into details...

Thanks! The cork is made by Hanovale Model Castings which is local to my area (Gold Coast, Australia)

Re: CHOO CHOO!!! Yes it sure does! I can't wait to get the rest of the mountain done now. Im not sure if I should lay the rest of the track up the mountain now or wait until I have the bridges in place? Im still undecided on the types of bridges I would like in the two spots where you...

Ive done a bit more work over the last couple of days and I now have some new photo's to post....

Ah, I see! They are just rolls of cork....;)

Im not sure which donut thingies your looking at but the coloured round shapes on the cork are push pins to hold it in place while the glue drys. Or maybe your talking about the white circles on my RTS Plan? I have no idea what they are... They just appeared when I was connecting pieces of...

Re: Peco #4 Yes that is correct, Im using #6 18" Radius Peco Turnouts...

Thanks everyone. Ive still got quite a way to go yet but Im making steady progress. I will post some more photos when I get a bit more done. In response to SD90's question.... Im using Code 80 Flex everywhere. All of the turnouts are Peco Insulfrog #4 (18" Radius) Here is my plan. I...
