Is the grey structure in the left hand corner of the first clip one of the hydroelectric dams on the west side of the cascades? If so, how did you build it? Also, what are your rocks made out of? They are very realistic. Thanks.

@LukasTheRailroader The structure you saw is a mountainside track support. These exist in several places on the prototype where the mountainside is too steep to use a conventional cut and fill.

@LukasTheRailroader The rocks are hydrocal castings made using Woodland Scenics molds. There are many small castings placed side by side with the spaces between filled with sculptamold and hydrocal, then carved to match the castings. The carving was done while the filler material was setting up.

the only way I'm going to be able to make a decent Espee lightweight consist is to take off the sides of the walters passenger cars and buy the correct sides from Union Station Products.

@HunterR909 I built the Shasta Daylight in the video using Union Station sides and Eastern Car Works core kits. Bill R
