I'm planning my first layout, so I appreciate your videos, especially since I also want to include one or two little rivers below the train tracks in my layout. * subscribed *

You should go out west where there are real mountains when it snows and come back down it’s warm.

I just sifted it thru a really fine woven screen then sifted it again with a screen that took the bigger stuff out. Works good and no blender.

I tried to paint my track with just acrylics hated it. I've been considering airbrushing... but this looks great. I have got chalk which I have used previously but never thought about this... 😊

Is the right of way still owned by the RR? I would not want to hike this and risk trespassing if any of the RoW had reverted to the surrounding landowners. Also check out the ex-WM between Hendricks and Thomas, which is now a bike trail. You can ride it both ways or just go downhill and get a shuttle back up.

Those rollers are genious! I'll be honest, I've been in HO almost 30 years and only recently realized the wheels could be moved along the axle. (Had a bunch of mystery derailments with one car and found it was out of gauge.)

Enjoying the vids. Thought i would try the real dirt idea. How do you get the dirt smell out?
@tracksidescenery2 ай бұрын
Thank you! If you use the hairspray, that is what you will smell for a while.

Amazing that the best track weathering technique is from a 10-year old video. I've watched dozens of track-weathering YT videos and liked this one best. I tested it on my Atlas o-scale layout and the results were absolutely stellar. I did make some minor changes to the technique though. Firstly, I prefer Pan Pastels in lieu of chalk as they're ready to use, not that expensive and go a long way. I also used Krylon Camouflage brown to initially spray the track instead of black. Spraying the track with an oil-based primer is critical because the chalk needs something to "bite", and this Krylon is one of the best primers you can get. I also found there was no need to mix the alcohol slurry rust chalks -- I just dusted the rails and tie plates directly using a mix of oxide read, burnt umber and black -- which sticks just as well as the alcohol slurry painted on. Anyway, it's a bit of work but the results are worth in and better than anything else I've seen. Thanks Joey!

Is the 6 x 6 inch square 1 inch in thickness or 2 inches?

2" thick approx. Cut down from a large 4x8' sheet

Awesome tutorial! I appreciated the bits of humor as well. I’m definitely going to be using this technique on my 1:32 scale slot car track!

Good tips. As an alterative to hair spray you can drench the dirt with dilute PVA glue to seal it and lock it in. Happy Modelling

A little late to the game here, but is that access road open to the public or is it private property? And is it traversable by full-size vehicles (Jeeps, etc.)?
@tracksidescenery4 ай бұрын
The access road is open and used primarily by the river lot land owners and of course railfans. All property on either side of the road is privately owned and some still by CSX. After rains, there is a lot of standing water. 4x4 or higher clearance vehicles are fine. Back in the 90's we used to run through there with a big Chevy Impala scraping the ballast a bit.

If you were going to steal it, would you use a matte spray varnish? Or......?
@tracksidescenery4 ай бұрын
I never seal it as I don't handle the cars much, when I do handle them, I usually picking up from underneath to avoid fingerprints. But I would imagine you could seal it with something like Krylon Matte Clear.
