Sure you should, Kipp !. Just think that many of us would be crazy to have only a portion of what you have achieved in your basement and like a treasure would care of it. So, please go down and blow off all the dust and get your magnificient layout alive again !. And don't forget post a new vid, of course. We all are expecting for watching new one !. Many greetings from Chile, and hope hear from you very soon.
Hey man !, your layout seems to be a very great one. Whenever you can, please shoot another vid more in detail for all of us around the world. You've done a very great job in landscaping and design; and something like that, really deserve to be shown in all its glory !!. Cheers from Chile, my friend and keep on going.
@jhonny1392 Geez! Thanks. I have to say, I haven't been down in the train room for a year or so, but I have added some since this video. Notice you see no turn-arounds. This is because they were bare wood and track, but one end has been filled in. Not entirely - Still have foliage etc.. Probably should go down there and blow the dust off the tracks.
on my nscale layout i use benjamin moore interior flat latex paint it worked fairly well you can buy the small samples they come in a lot of colors they stuck to the kits i bought with no problem its cheeper than the hobby store paints and look more real
@MegaBesomeone I get down there to the train usually starting in the Fall. I have to clean the tracks and run the spiders out of there. It's in its own little 6' x 9' room with a door on it. It gets hot in Iowa in the Summer. Not real bad in the basement, but still uncomfortable.
Yeah - It's hard to paint plastic and make it look fairly realistic. i prefer wood kits, but they are expensive. Scratch works out the best, but N is tedious.
Thanks! I'm trying to get my hands on a 5.5" LCD screen/monitor for the Methoplex drive-in. It would look a lot more authentic. The one hooked up now works, but it has a lot of dead space around it. I actually had the DVD's audio running through a digital delay to give it that authentic slap-echo sound of a real drive-in ;)
I worked like a madman for the first two years then I dropped like a stone. Burned myself out. I took on a lot at one time. So now I am taking my time and doing it right. It sat for three years though - untouched. Your $60.00 board was a great deal actually. The hard part is done. Getting the track to lay level and not bump is the trick.

real nice, love the setup, would love to see pinhole spy cameras mounted on the train itself.
would make a nice film.
thanks for viewing my animation!
