Hey Jon, I tend to do must of my set stuff by eye with some rough measuring of the grade. When it comes to the spline it all started at the same point where it left the original benchwork and I’ve let the staggering occur naturally with the curve. I know it’s not helpful and a bit frustrating but I really do fly by the seat of my pants with it. This can cause problems as you’ll see in more extension updates after this old video that I redo some parts several times. I was originally taking the screws out of the spline once the glue dried but by the end I Just left them in. From memory I set the places of the risers by bending some spline to get the rough curve and then placed the risers. Sorry again if this is not overly helpful.

@@nessriverrailroad1299 Wrong! It's extremely helpful! This tells me I'm overthinking some parts of this and gives me confidence on how to approach it! Thank you so much for explaining how you set your risers!

One thing I forgot to mention, just use generic ply, I tried using some higher grade ply at one stage and it was too strong and wouldn’t bend enough for the tighter sections so it was a waste of money.

One of my favourite channels is Vice Grip Garage and I watch them quite religiously but youtube still recommends old ones for me. Must just be an algorithm thing. Thanks for watching anyway 😀

1/4 is pretty close. I must admit I don’t really know anything about baseball. I bought this cap a while ago when I was out and needed a light material hat and this is what my local sports store had.

@@nessriverrailroad1299 It's the first time since 1981 the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees have met in the World Series. This is a very big deal in America and Japan since the best player in MLB right now is Shohei Ohtani who plays for the Dodgers. First game starts at 5PM Pacific Time today! Go Dodgers! Don't take the hat off! 🤣

Hey Ken, Sorry I haven’t uploaded any new videos in a while, I’ve just been really busy in the 1:1 scale world. The Bethungra Spiral is pretty cool.

I will paint it all inside at some stage. It was a bit chilly the day I filmed. Winter gave us one last blast before Spring.

Thanks Ken, like I said, using that vacuum car has worked wonders.

Thanks mate, I set up a little production line in the shed to make trees. My process is getting better and so are the results.

Thanks Mike, I’m glad you like it. We are all well here. Winter felt a bit long this year, we’re glad to see Spring.

Cheers. Thanks for watching.

Cheers.

I won’t start the modifications of the other area until this section is done.

That’s 3mm cork, I purchased from Branchline. I used 2mm in the main yard. I don’t recall the brand right now. Spotlight have cork sheets. I got the Tomic cleaner from Amazon.

There’s nothing surer 😆

Thanks Daryl, It’s easy to forget that sometimes, cheers.

The layout has really been shaped my desire to avoid a proper helix.

I have heard mixed reviews on Bullfrog Snot.

Thanks so much. It’s great to have them running well.

There’s about 4 good vantage points on this area, I’m pretty happy.

Great 👍

Cheers.

I enjoy making the scenery.

I’m glad you like them. Quarrying is the look I was going for so that’s great.

Thanks.

Thanks Dwight, it’s certainly come a long way since you’ve been following.

@@nessriverrailroad1299 Yes it has !

🐈🐈 luckily Bertie is less destructive than your boys would be 😆

Thanks for watching. I hope this link works. I bought through as retailer, not direct. www.centerline-products.com/

I hope you’re on the mend. My jaw surgery last year knocked me back mentally for a very long time.

Bloody Murphy

It’s certainly been stressful. Luckily we’ve dodged the worst of it.

Bertie is always near by.

Hi Steve, my room is approximately 7m x 3m with a bit missing where the stairs come up.

@@nessriverrailroad1299 Hi David, thanks for the info. We’re moving and finally getting a dedicated space for my train layout in the basement and it’s a bit bigger than that. Just trying to get ideas for the next one (or keep the existing and modify). Might even go HO if I can make it work. Thanks again. - Steve

@CajonSub sounds great. I feel to go HO with what I like to run I’d never have a room big enough. Basements under houses aren’t very common in Australia.

@@nessriverrailroad1299 David, I feel the same way. Would love to do it but limited depending on the available space. But getting older, HO is more manageable (and they have better details). - Steve

It certainly has been a lot of work. I’m glad you like it.

Thanks.
