See the note above. The shed s scratch built from foam board and skinned in plastikard. The floor is model board cut to fit and glued down. The surface is painted grey and then painted with a watered down PVA mix onto which grey tile grout is sprinkled. When it is dry there is a gritty surface left like concrete or fine ashphalt.

how do you make the track like that under concrete and between the middle

[airthreypark]

The concrete is plasticard sheet. Very carefully cut to fit and glued down very firmly with araldite Be very careful to ensure that the track tops are always slightly proud of the concrete area or your trains will go nowhere!. It is scored to look like areas that have been laid, painted a dark grey colour and then whilst still wet sprinkled all over with dark grey tile grout powder through a fine sieve. Once dry this is vacuumed off.

[airthreypark]

That would be Malcolm. An artist!

where did you get the engine shed and what make is it good video

[airthreypark]

The engine shed is entirely scratch built by a member of the club team. Essentially a model board core structure covered in various types of plastikard sheeting. The prototype is loosely similiar to the DMU shed at Haymarket. We could build one but it would cost £100s and take months!!
