When you are in first year Science at Universty you are on a budget, luckily I do have enough so I have some space but not a lot for trains anymore.

Your series is great and you will gain many subscribers and views. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I try to scratchbuild what I can, although many others do not. Instead of buying Woodland Scenics hydrocal (expensive to ship and sort of overpriced) I used durabond which dries very solid. I used twigs for pulpwood loads as well.

@tjmfishing Thanks for the advice on making rocks, scratchbuilding and the info on Woodland Scenic's website - I'll be sure to check that out!! Thanks for watching!!

I think Most people my age are on a budget. But this just goes to show you can do alot on your layout if you work on it a hour or 2 each night. Very Nice job Brain. Glad to have you as a friend and a subscriber!!! 2 Thumps up my friend!

@ohiosouthern Being on a budget means that it will take longer to build the layout and thus more enjoyment!! Anyway the journey is more important than the destination... I have to be thrifty and creative when using materials. That's one reason I'm starting out in DC. I have the transformers so I don't have to spend for DCC right at first.

@ohiosouthern I appreciate your comments and friendship and look forward to more of your vids as well!!

To paint the rock molds I would advise first checking on Woodland Scenics website. If you go to How To videos you will see How to Colour a Rock.  At first I was skeptical but they turn out Very nice. This gives the rocks an uneven, weathered look and complements the rock's details.
