Picture time

So the first thing I did was print off my terminal's trackplan from Winrail9 and lay it out on the foam to make sure the measurements worked. And for the most part all is well... but how to transfer the track



That part was easy! but tedious and took a few hours thats for sure. What I did was cut out the track plan and tack it down on the foam. I then bought some nice water based laytex paint (can't remember the color... it's like Birds-nest by CEL or something like that) and painted the whole thing.... the idea is that I'm using the track plan as a stencil so that I'll know where everything goes!


As the paint dried I took out some woodland scenics fine blended turf and fine black turf and sprinkled it over the layout in the areas I wanted it in. After I got the general coverage I wanted from the two colors I took the greenery and sprinkled it over the black turf to simulate grass poking through. I'm pretty happy with the results!


The next step will be to cut a hole for my turntable and assemble that part of the layout!
