Very nice.....wouldn't have thought to carve it out of foam (I must steal that 8-) ).
Have you carved anything else?

Not a whole lot Steve, I used a band saw to cut the circles then scribed the block lines. When you saw the foam it has the texture of rough concrete. Most of the streets on the layout are scribed right into the foamboard.

I did not know (or maybe remember) that you scribed your roads in the foamboard. Seems like a great idea to me

That is an excellent layout but the prototypical width of the street is outstanding!

I reckon you should get a Police Cruiser and have him pull over that Rat-Rod for a roadworthy inspection.
Or a high speed pursuit of said Rat Rod. :race:

Reinhard, those both are modeled after real streets here, and I measured both of them for the right size.

Hi,
Great scenes on your layout.
That left over silo looks cool.It will match the abandoned farm scene perfect...
Cheers,Chris
