You work has an elegant complexity that I really admire. The diamonds, switch work, road building all really works together so well. There's a lot there to admire. Please, consider writing a clinic or tutorial on how you're building your road system. I, for one, would really enjoy seeing/reading your step-by-step process.
Oh...and you mentioned looking closely to see the "mistakes"? Let me tell you, I'll take those "mistakes" on my layout any day...that's some great work getting the styrene cut precisely and fitted inside the rails. Being a fellow Nscaler, I appreciate how tough that is! Looks like you're using bass wood or balsa wood to help lay the streets then filling it in, with thin pine strips to help form up the road edges? Is that correct? Really nice work!

I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to write a turtorial, cuz I have no additional pics as I postet and my english knowledge is not good enough for.

The wood stripes are pinewood and 3x10 millimeters. They a ~0,5 millimeters higher than streetlevel, so I can add walkways and I have edge for the landscape, thats the reason.

Hi all :-)
here some new pics from my latest project; the TrainCat overhead crane gantry. I solder it with heat air and it is my first brass kit I did. I need a 2nd kit to lenghten the gantry to the industry building and I need to fasten it to the ground - much work to do. The N&W J #611 is my wife's railfan special train ...

Thanks for updating us on your fine work Markus! Looking forward to more! The scenery in some of your previous photos tells me that the new section is going to look beautiful when completed.
