Thanks Chris. It’s frustrating how long the glue is taking to dry atm but will definitely share further progress once it’s solid. Look forward to seeing your progress.
That’s a nice idea, thanks! I’ll see if I can find any photos of something like that from the mid 70s. I may also see how the space might divide up to allow that.
Thanks! In the 70s there definitely would have been some smaller old railway buildings, including things like toilet blocks in an area like this. I'll have a think and see how I could work something like that in to the plan.
Yes I'm surprised how low I can keep it. When I converted the garage before the railway went in I made sure I insulated and sealed everything really well including the floor. Then I run a dehumidifier for a hour or so three days a week. Based on the humidity it reports back when running I think I must have done an OK job.
@@DonningtonCastleModelRailway Yes, that would explain it then, that would be better than almost all dwellings in the UK. Your layout and rolling stock should do very well in that atmosphere. Well done a belt and braces job!
Thanks! Yes it took a bit longer but I'm glad I invested the time in that phase. It makes it a nice environment to work in all year round and I'm also happy that moisture in the air isn't causing any issues either with the layout or rolling stock.
@@DonningtonCastleModelRailway Well done that's a very healthy environment for a model railway layout. I Have subscribed by the way, you are obviously taking this build seriously by the measures you've taken.
Loving the gravel, watched with interest as I'm hoping so be doing similar stuff myself soon. You've inspired me to give it a go! Regards, Chris

Maybe a small scrap yard for the Tarmac area?

I don't know what you Britain would have but portable toilets came to mine.

35% humidity is very low for a garage!

Thanks for the sub! Yes trying my best to do the right things while still having fun with the hobby.
