Incredible timing, DJ. I've carved out a short river (1 foot) that is under an overhead trestle bridge and also crossed over with two other rail bridges. Was going to pour the river today after the wife gets back from the post office with my "little people" (Woodland Scenic kids fishing and two canoes with canoeists). Just watched this and ready to do it. Very nice job, Theresa! Cheers, Bob
Hi Teresa and DJ, Great job Teresa two thumbs up. DJ, I have to tip my hat to you my friend, I showed this video to Suzie and I can't tell you what she said (ha ha ha) other than "That's your hobby". The new layout is looking great. I was able to get some vacation time the first week of November, so hopefully I'll see you at the show. Cheers, Rich S.
24 hours is a very long time when you have cats. Even when you have counted them three times, to make sure they are not in the basement. LOL... Great video DJ and Teresa!
Thanks for showing how anyone can do it!!!!!👊🏻 Been wondering how to do it now I'll have to check out some of your other videos on water!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Instead of a torch to get the bubbles out , just blow through a drinking straw. That’s how I remove bubbles from epoxy when adding finish to fishing rods. It works well.
@@djstrains My son races dirt bikes and I ride too. Some day when I have my basement back I'll have a 14'x10' area for it. Kinda all ready know if what I want. Non prototype 4884, Challenger and Shay's logging and oil in Pa. area.
I know on the woodland scenics water they have an app to calculate how much to use. Envirotex does not. I know I didnt want to pour it too thick or it'll take a week to dry, so I stayed on the conservative estimate. I think this time was luck. You can always add a thin clear layer overtop if you feel its not deep enough.
Very nice and fun. Hey dj last I heard was that you are running dc? If so, I'm n gauge as well and have all converted or bought dcc locos except one brand new sd 45 Santa Fe blue and yellow that I'm not going to dcc it. If you like as a free gift I will send it to you just let me know,? I love what you do and trust me I have many locos including 4 csx gevos and 1 csx ac 6000 plus many up and bnsf, ns etc so please all free.
I can run both. I simply unplug my bus wires from the DCC system into my DC system when needed. I sincerely appreciate your generosity, but will decline the offer, since I am sticking with the latest Amtrak sets that I can find. Thank you very much for the offer.
for the "stop"? If you mean stone, I used real sifted dirt and woodland scenic coarse foliage. For the wall, I used plain styrene painted. For the ends where it meets the backdrop, I used silicone and made sure there was no gaps. When it dried, I painted it.
DJ, your approach in this video was brilliant. It definitely drives home the point that a novice can create great results in this hobby.
Glad it was helpful!
i am amazed at how little paint it took to change the color of it.
2:35 alvin! simon! theodore! lol

👍👍👍Great job Theresa! You had a talented mentor by yourside
You’re absolutely right- He’s the best at this!

Great video DJ and Teresa!
Lol, my cat snuck down when I had previous layout and totally Godzillad it up. I had a pine tree upstairs in the living room, lol.

Very nice! Looks great i love the way the rivers on model railroads look
Glad you like it

WOW it's that easy? Some day I'll get back into trains again.
someday=Today!

Good job. Beautiful.
Thanks DJS very informative and so easy,something I always thought was hard. Regards,Mick
Glad you enjoyed it
That looked very easy, thanks
It is!
Very helpful video. How did you accurately predict how much resin and hardner you would need to cover the entire riverbed? Thanks DJ and Theresa!

How strong is the odour from the Envirotex Lite Pour On? Did the odour dissipate quickly?
its not bad
It's a Kato SD BTW.
I'd put at least 1 pier under that bridge lol
I will eventually, lol
So I'm not crazy for gathering up all these craft paints and popsicle sticks in anticipation for building a model railway of some kind?
I need an excuse to buy popsicles, lol

what are you using for the stop on the river bank?

@@djstrains yes the pebbles along the river bank. I am going to have to do that soon.
If thats your GF she is so lucky to have you.
Hahaha, tell her that..
You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know 😘
