For the record Pete, O stands for Obese! And it doesn't matter if it's narrow gauge or not. There is no such thing as slim gauge in the Obese gauge!

And the main line is completed ! Ran the first train all the way around tonight without a derailment! Was nice to just sit back and watch. I will try to upload some pictures & video later this week.

Good to hear, looking to see the pics!

Quick overview of the mine area, Heading down to maybe do some videos shortly.

Great looking scene!

Looks good! It is a wise decision to have only he mine building complex and keep all focus on it

And the trackwork is complete! Now back to scenery and buildings

Congrats on completing the track laying. Are you going to paint the track now or after the scenery is done?

Track weathering will commence shortly, I usually do the track-->Scenery-->Ballasting

She'll be comin round the mountain...
When I finish making it

Nice work Devon.

Devon,Looks like you're making good progress on your layout..

That is one impressive mine scene.

Here a tree, there a tree, everywhere a tree....
Time to start do some scenery, I cleaned the workbench and layout room. So I decided to make a mess again.


The Beginning

I add a row of clump foliage to the horizon, this helps give some depth. It also saves on creating a lot of trees


But you still have to make some trees, only took about an hour. Tomorrow night I should be able to start planting. Once that is done, I can start making all the foreground trees.

Put a little video together, kind of recaps the thread with a little mainline action.
