    Excellent presentation. Each step of the procedure was slowly and clearly performed with written, rather than what often is, annoying spoken instructions--nice touch.

    Looks great! What is the soil that you used? Real dirt???

    • @ThomasKlimoski
      @ThomasKlimoski  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, yes I used real "clay dirt" from my yard in Georgia. I dried the soil and then ran it through a very fine screen before applying it to my layout. Having the dirt show through the grass helps it look more realistic. Thanks for your comments.-Tom

    Very nicely done and like how the "hill" really isn't that high, just enough to give the trees a rise above the tracks and subsequent rolling trains - Phil

      Hi Phil, Thanks for your comments. I just wanted a slight elevation of the terrain to help hide the entry from staging. -Tom

    Just came across your channel tonight.. I've done very similar to your method of landscape. The video was excellent and I liked the weathering on the bldg behind the rails..The approach you used and reason to even make the view block was the reason I subbed as soon as the video ended. Looking forward to watching other videos that you have posted.. Tom

    Very very nice work. Really enjoyed watching this. It seems that it may be expensive as you used a lot of products great results though. Please tell me what you have under the tracks as that ballast looks so good.

    • @ThomasKlimoski
      @ThomasKlimoski  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comments. Yes, the Heki wild fiber grass can be a bit expensive, but you don't need a static grass applicator to apply it so you save that cost. The SuperTrees require some work, but look really good and are an economical way to add trees to your layout. I used Arizona Rock and Mineral #138 CSX, SP, Wabash Gray ballast. I mix 1 part N scale to 2 parts HO for a nice blend. You can find the Arizona Rock and Mineral ballast at ARMballast.com I have more information about my layout on my website at www.thomasklimoski.com and feel free to contact me through my website if you have more questions. -Tom

    Nice! Where did you get that 3008 unit? I live 1/2 from that line in Marietta and building an N scale basement layout of the W&A from north Tilford up to Cartersville and I'm going to eventually do the a short part of the GNRR line connecting at Elizabeth.
    On a side note you favor an engineer switching a few months back who I saw while filming behind the Frosty Caboose in Chamblee. I may have a video with you driving somewhere. lol

    • @ThomasKlimoski
      @ThomasKlimoski  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Lance,
      The GNRR #3008 is an Atlas locomotive that I custom painted and decaled. Unfortunately I kept the original locomotive number instead of changing it to one that was on the GNRR roster in 2013. I will eventually change it to 9708 and scratch build an extended cab just like the one on the prototype. All of my other locomotives on the layout are correctly numbered and based on locomotives on the prototype GNRR.
      Good luck on your layout and it is great you are going to include part of the GNRR on your layout.

      Hi Thomas, The wild grass fiber mats are Heki HK1575 and HK1576. You can find them on the Scenic Express website, they also have larger sizes. They are great for modeling overgrown areas along the railroad right of way. If you have any questions you can contact me at tklimoski@gmail.com -Tom

    Well done video, with a terrific result. One question, though; why do you use the plaster cloth?

    • @ThomasKlimoski
      @ThomasKlimoski  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Ocalicreek, I used the plaster cloth to help smooth out the transition from the foam I used for the hill to the base. It also gave the hill a smoother look and took off the hard edges when I carved the hill. I recently made a much smaller hill and did not use the plaster cloth and it came out fine. Thanks for your comments. -Tom

    Why apply dirt if you're just going to cover it with turf?

    • @ThomasKlimoski
      @ThomasKlimoski  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Don, Thanks for your question. It is a little hard to see in the video, but the dirt shows thru the Heki grass when you view it from above. The grass mats are stretched pretty thin in some areas so you get a more natural effect of clumps of grass. The "grass" (actually mostly weeds) in my yard here in Georgia has lots of areas where the Georgia clay dirt shows more than the grass, so that was the look I was going for. Plus the dirt was "free" as I got it from my yard, dried it and then screened it. In the area under the trees most of the dirt was covered by the Flock and Turf, but there are still a few areas where the dirt shows through. -Tom
