Great modelling, well done! I enjoyed your video presentation too! All the best Guy. ps I live in France, although I must have past close to the Georgetown Loop when I took the California Zephyr in 1995, so I have seen the countryside myself, it was splendid and beautifully represented in your model.
The foam is an okay option if you don’t have too much weight on top of it, but this layout used a lot of plaster which added a significant amount of weight. I’m not sure this layout will survive being moved, but if you’re not planning on having more than around 40 pounds of material on top of your boards, I suspect you’d be okay to move the layout.
Loks great. Just a lil' nick pick you may build apon in the future, the different rock formations form photos I've seen appear to be a mix of the traditional gray basement rock, and pink granite. Just a lil' nick pick I swear! Just kiddin'. I aint gonna critique without giving you some resources 'cuz that'd be unfair, so here's mine: Myron Cook, a geologist that has a channel here. He goes into details bout the various rock formations encase you're interested. Also I'm now noticing how popular narrow gauge is becoming...must be something in the air...personally, I found myself to like the scenic vista's that 3ft gauge offers.
Yes the one functional HOn3 locomotive that I have has a lot of sounds that can be controlled with DCC, and it also runs more smoothly than on a DC setup.
Excellent landscape, very true to life very believable, enjoyed that ✔✔😃😃
Fantastic job 😊
Giving me inspiration to do one as well.
awesome!
Nice Job on the layout
My God those Blackstone models are gorgeous! 😮
Hopefully they start making them again someday:/
@@historicalmodeler1483 Been looking for then everywhere on ebay, trainworld, etc and the cheapest I've found was $300 USD (I live in Canada).
You certainly captured the look and feel of the Loop.
Fantastic work createing a stunningly realistic layout! That is one to be proud of!
Absolutely excellent job there, making a short video like this showing the before and after really helps get that inspiration flowing.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
Looks great 👍
Attention to detail makes the difference.....

The foam board insulation. Since you used two pieces is it pretty sturdy but light enough to move? I am considering using it as well for my EBT layout

Very well done! You sound like a young model railroader - are you?
Thank you so much! And I’m in my late 20’s!
@@historicalmodeler1483 Excellent! Most model railroaders that I know are in their 50's to 90's.😀
Interesting how that you only have one line and decide to use dcc I assume you want to use sound and other effects 😁👍

Great job. Love it. What radius is the curve on the tall trestle?
The curves at the ends of the bridge have a 17 inch radius, and the curve on the bridge itself straightens out to an approximately 26 inch radius.
Thanks for the quick reply.
