I've never seen anyone do paved roads before. I used to use black paper as a kid. Looks like a ton of work but it looks fabulous! I think your cat agrees...
I think I have finally found the way to build my roads. I have watched allot of vids. You explain it well and maybe this rookie can do it. Thanks allot.
Just a suggestion. You can mix white glue with water, about 1/3 glue to 2/3 water, into a spray bottle and cover large areas of dirt or grass. Just a few drops of dish washing liquid so the glue doesn't bead up when you spray it. If the Woodland Scenic's is thin enough, you might try putting it into a spray bottle. The layout is looking good!
The Man needs some AFX slot car track for his streets and highways.Instead of non working streets.Check out some H.O videos with trains and slot cars on same track.
I'm learning a lot from you, as I prepare to build my first HO scale layout (which will be 5 x 16 in size). I'm concerned about how you apply the glue pretty much one drop at a time. I think I'd go a bit crazy with the time it takes. So, I'm wondering if there are any other options. Also, I have a black cat. So, it's fun to see your cat in the videos.
Great video and the way you did your street w that tape from Dollar Tree worked perfectly! Then the street after brush painting it black turned nice! I took notes of how to do my 2 streets by the way you did yours.
Great video, but I prefer to cut 1/8" foam board for the roads. Far easier, less mess, cheap at dollar store, paintable and looks better IMHO. It's also easier to remove if ever needed. Just another option for consideration.
I’ve found a much better product than Woodland Scenics Smooth-It for making streets and highways for model railroads: Red Devil OneTime Lightweight Spackle. It’s pre-mixed. No fuss, no mess. Just apply with a putty knife between the paving tape (though I do recommend masking tape underneath that if applying to a plywood base). It sands easily with much less dust, and takes paint beautifully. Why mix a powdery product that usually winds up in your lungs when you don’t have to!
Nice work, I've just watched the first 5 episodes and will be checking out the others. What's the difference between "Smooth -It" and plaster of paris or spackling compound?
I use plaster of Paris accualy you get alot in one bag and it does the same thing as smooth it honestly i think woodland senics is just expensive plaster good job though
I built my first layout in 1976. Love the use of foam board. Obviously much lighter and easier to affix the cork and track. Just wondering though, you have great attention to detail in your layout and in the videos so I'm curious to know if you plan on putting bumpers at the end of the lines in the freight yard sections for authenticity. I used the ones with the red lights. Adds a great finishing touch. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
Wow you must have a lot of good knowledge on model railroading! But I do plan to get those little bumpers, except they will go on my new layout! The red light on them would be a marvelous detail
@@TopRailroad I noticed that you were wearing a Harley Davidson t-shirt in one of your videos which begs the question, do you ride? I've been riding motorcycles, Harleys mostly for about as long as I've been in love with HO trains. When its winter and I can't ride is when I concentrate on the trains. It's a great indoor hobby. Another thing: I like how you use things from your own backyard to use in your scenery. Whenever I'm building rock formations or need a few large boulders in a scene I'll go to one of the local rail lines and scoop up a bunch of the ballast rocks and use them adding great authenticity to the scene. If you ride...keep the shiny side up and keep on 'training!'
@@carlloud1187 I don’t ride any motorcycles but I have always appreciated and liked them a lot. It’s awesome that you ride though! But I do agree trains is a great hobby for indoors. Thank you for the super cool comments. The ballast idea is also one I’ll keep in mind. Same to you man!
I would have appreciated if you brought the microphone closer to that tape peeling part. Lol. A little ASMR for your viewers. The roads look great. Well done.
With H.O scale you some AFX slot car track to build your streets and highways.I have ogauge I need Carrera 132 scale for my layou of streets and highways
You can use other glue but you want to make sure they do the same thing. Like for scenic glue, if you don’t have it, you can mix mod podge matte glue and water at a 50/50 ratio to have the same thing pretty much

Making roads, and railway crossings.
Good job my friend.
Nope! This is railroad crossing
Subtitles said that you were paving with a smoothie

I can just imagine driving on that smooth payment… looks great!
I can imagine it too haha thanks man!

Man great job. i had all kinds of bubbles when I did my roads. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Very very interesting stuff.
Good work in the layout.
😺 sleeping.
My Scooby bark to you 😺.
Making roads.

Looks really nice. Thanks for showing !!!!!!!
Thank you Paul!

Keep the video's coming the way you do this is excellent and very professionally designed and explained
Looks real good!
and I totally get the OCD bit. same here
Bravo your pretty good at this thanks too u your saving me money cant wait to build mine with my dad
Good job doing the same soon on layout.
Really enjoying these videos and learning a lot from you.
Excellent

I’ll have to check that out. I agree though, Woodland scenic products can be on the pricey side
Good job, keep it up!
Nice video 👌😊
LOL....I love your cat in the videos. So cute. :0)

You’re right I would’ve enjoyed that ASMR as well haha. Thank you though!
You have some really good modeling skills. How did you develop them? Thanks for your great videos.
Thank you! I’ve just watched a lot of videos and took a lot of mental notes
Do you think that same product will work directly on plywood and have the same results or does it need to be on foam
I would imagine it would work fine on plywood too
I noticed that you did not spray the sides of the rails in this one. how come
With H.O scale you some AFX slot car track to build your streets and highways.I have ogauge I need Carrera 132 scale for my layou of streets and highways
I just checked those out and they are for sure cool! Too bad they don’t fit in the budget right now haha
@@TopRailroad OK I understand. I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD WITH SOME SLOT CAR TRACK.Not in my budget right now either
Fantastic layout!! What products did you use for the grass and bushes??
It’s all Woodland Scenics. Fine Turf Burnt Grass and the bushes come in a little back haha
got a question, are we able to use any type of glue or just the glue u used
You can use other glue but you want to make sure they do the same thing. Like for scenic glue, if you don’t have it, you can mix mod podge matte glue and water at a 50/50 ratio to have the same thing pretty much
Where are previous videos
You should be able to click my channel name and go to my channel page and then scroll down on my videos tab.
Use a putty knife when trimming plaster
those are Florida roads, not NJ roads or PA roads.
This video can not be watched due to commercials ⚠️
the second i saw this i clicked it because i dont know how to make roads haha
I hope the video helps haha
'Just me wanting to be a perfectionist...' Really? And you can't see the errors of the stupid way you made the grade crossings?
