    Great tutorial and fantastic looking trees!! Do you make any of them for sale?? I would definitely like a dozen of the green fur trees and 6 of the yellow Aspen. Please let me know, Happy Holidays!!....Tom

    I may be using the wrong Sisal Twine. Mine is 1 ply that I bought in a 500ft roll. . I can't seem to get the strands separated evenly. I've tried 3 trees so far but feel like the twine you are using is thicker therefore provides more strands?

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The Sisal I use is single strand designed for baling therefore it is fairly stiff. If you have the softer stuff it is tougher to work with. I find it won’t hold it’s shape as well either when spun up.

    amazing. What color spray paint for the fascia boards ? - is it just matte black ?

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Not straight black, more of an extremely dark gray eggshell finish latex rolled on.

    • @macadaweg3219
      @macadaweg3219 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Personally yes. Black or dark grey is neutral and goes un-noticed and that to me is the point of a fascia. It is the frame around the art which is the layout. It shouldn't distract but rather highlight the art.

    As an HO modeler, I am amazed at what you have accomplished. The scenery is spectacular, and the smaller trains run so smooth it is difficult to imagine this being N scale. Nicely done!

      @ I've been considering building a small model railroad again. Been debating N or back to HO. Both have their benefits and pitfalls

    • @SouthernAlbertaRail
      @SouthernAlbertaRail 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Absolutely. I think N scale is more suited to larger spaces and HO shines in the shortline/switching setting. N scale can't pull off switching as well as HO and HO doesn't give you the feel of distance and space quite like N. Have fun!
