Scott, thank you for your kind comments. I concur with you, the hydrocal really adds to the look of the buildings, but nonetheless, the next structures will be made from styrene. I am working on this layout for about half a year now and I have the feeling, that I did not make much progress. So I want to get something done now. To make those structures from hydrocal took MUCH longer than building them from styrene. I am planning to do all the structures I still need from styrene, so that it won’t take too long until I can lay ground cover and start working on the scenery. I will replace the styrene structures with hydrocal structures one by one later. The styrene buildings are quick and easy to do and they are cheap, so it will no big loss to remove them from the layout.
Miles, nice to see you! To answer your question: I still have the SoCal layout and all the rolling stock. I did not have the heart to dismantle the layout. It resides on top of the wardrobe in our bedroom. I took it down to take some pics a few days ago. My pictures on this and last week’s Photo Fun Threads are two of them.
