Are your pavements/roads simply 'laminated' layers of styrene or just 'one piece' cut to fit? Which brand? Is the "between-rail" pavement level or slightly lower than the rail head? Lastly, what code rail did you use here? 83 or 100 or 'possibly' even slightly higher? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the questions. The roads and the concrete areas around the inland port are all made of Woodland Scenics' Smooth-It which is a plaster material. There are videos on the channel about using Smooth-It. No styrene was used for the roads. Styrene was used for some parking lots around the depot and the Waffle House. The inland port area "paving" is slightly below the rail height to facilitate rail cleaning. All track is code 83 from Walthers (made by Shinohara when I bought it). Most turnouts are Peco code 83 with a couple of Walthers code 83 curved turnouts...Harold
This is a very interesting in land port well done and informitive may i ask what sort of in spection is carried out on the hoopers at this port ? thank you Andrew
Another great informative video Harold! The platform, is that all plaster? It looks like you bought it in pieces and assembled it from a kit. I can’t remember if you did a video on it or not. -Mark
Thanks for watching and for your comment. It 100% Smooth-It the Woodland Scenics plaster material intended for building roads. There is a How To video called "How To Make a Concrete Surface Using Smooth-It" describing how it was made in the How To playlist on the channel...Harold

While the contents of the hoppers may be examined (one could open the roof hatches) this stop is more for a check of the relevant paperwork...Harold
