Hi @sonicvisionmedia ... about 16' x 22'. A track plan is included on the Flikr page listed on my Youtube channel. It is also included in an article on the C&W in this year's Model Railroad Planning.
The techniques are nearly all from Mike Danneman so a quick google search on his articles will give you all you need to know. The snow itself is Lightweight Hydrocal with Arizona Rock & Mineral marble dust between the rails (with lost of dilutte gesso to whiten it), both as per Mike.
Fantastic layout! I love your approach to scenery. Forcing the viewing angles that you want people to see is a trick that is hard to master. Keep up the awesome work! I'll be looking forward to updates.
@roserugosa: thank you very much for your kind words. I have cycled the trails quite a bit and your comment about the accuracy are much appreciated. While not as accurate as I would like, I think that may always be the case...it is a compressed model after all! md
Extraordinary. Some of the finest scenery I've seen. I thought it was HO at first. Looking forward to future progress when those stunning bridges are finished!
Thank you and Yes, they are LifeLike. I am fortunate to have 7 C Liners, 10 H Liners and 2 Trainmasters so, with a smattering of GMD and Alco units, we can run a near prototypical mix of power in ops sessions.
Wow. Very nice! How big is this?
