Construction on the Trinity Sabine & Gulf

[Loblolly Logger]

Michael, Kevin, Jack, Thanks for looking and commenting!

This week we worked on creating some ground contours for the first section of the layout. As this is an industrial layout, the majority of it will be fairly level, but as the East Texas region is well known for its smooth rolling hills, we wanted to include some. We built the base from two or three layers of foam, cut, carved and sanded into a basic form. We then covered the foam with Fast-n-Final Lightweight Spackling Compound (Lowes). Although a bit messy, its very light, dries quick, and sands well. We also carved out the channel for the creek.
