Love that Reefer car near the rear of the train, that was a very clever DTI herald!

@Conraildan Thanks! I actually plan on doing a couple more of those on the BLMA cars.

Nice work, the detail is excellent. What material did you use for thr road?.

[ModernDTI]

@racerx1552 It's balsa wood. The seams are patched with plaster, as are the grade crossings. The street running was done the same way, and I just carved out the flange ways with a dremel. If you go to my facebook page, you'll see step by step progress photos.

were you inspired to build this from inception? lol

[ModernDTI]

@4godalone100 No way...too tacky! LOL. Real street running is way cooler!

[4godalone100]

@cthsemilw The trees are from JTT, an MRC company. Nice, aren't they? And the weeded track is just ballasted, and then I use static grass, applied with a Notch GrassMaster. Can't go wrong with that thing!

[cthsemilw]

Did you make the trees? If so, that might make a good how-to video. Also like the weeded track aproaching the street part. Really enjoy your videos.
