New N-gauge test layout

[dazamccoy]

Then I thought what the hell, I may as well stick on my class 25 starter set too.





Here's a quick video of it on the move.




I also filed down the area where my rocky outcrop/hill joins with the base.

Finally for tonight, A quick 360 degree of the possible space I can use. Half of it already has base boards. I just have to move the crap off of them.



Through the double doors lies another 80 feet of shed. I will have to wait for my lottery win before expanding into that area. I'll invite all of you N gauge boys to help with the track plan and scenery, on full pay of course. So keep your fingers crossed.

I got some more free time tonight, time for some more papier mache fun. It all looks very random at the moment, but I'm sure it will look much better with a lick of paint.



I decided to leave some some polystyrene bare and then paint it to look like a rocky outcrop. I rather like this angle, It looks kinda natural, well, in paper land anyway lol.



Here's a closer view of the tunnel entrance.



And finally a long shot.

Well, It seems to be dry now, so I'll get some green pain tomorrow and paint this baby up.

Does anyone know approximately how wide the ballast should be on a single line of N-gauge track? or should I just go with what I think looks right?

I got loads of green paint, I have given her a good lick. I'll have to leave it for a day or two to dry, then give it another coat.

One thing I have learned.................Papier Mache needs lots of coats before it becomes hard!!!!!
