“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

Plenty of people stop at the plywood tundra stage and start switching. This scenery adds tons of realism.

[@czwij]

plywood tundra. haha. this is me....

[@diedertspijkerboer]

To avoid having to put down blades of grass with tweezers individually, I lay them down 20 at a time with 20 tweezers glued together 😉

[@davidf9630]

😂😂😂😂

[@CountryCarReviews]

I scratchbuilt a cell phone tower using balsa. Also I used photoshop to make signs

[@Steelerfan820]

Great video. Be sure to glue that finishing powder down even if it's with hair spray. Then clean the track if you didnt mask it. These locos are like lil dust magnets.

[@amperesi9576]

Yay more content thanks, really getting excited to continue my Kato N scale layout

[@melkitson]

Great stuff Jimmy. There is a lesson for me here. I have been putting things off becsuse I have a large area to cover. Your way will get this done in a flash.

[@trainwild]

Great video, scenery is always fun to do! 👍

[@edwardaudet8367]

WOW!!! Looking great like the scenery base. You made come alive

[@richardnelson-ux1zz]

Scenery is a real pain i use bottle brushes and nipple brushes for tree's and use painted parsley for bushes also i use dried tree branches for fence posts use 8mm fishing wire to make barbed wire

[@jaybird111207]

MMR2 is looking good!! Great start to the scenery and nice running locomotive. Thanks for sharing. Happy modeling!! -Jason

[@billweinholtz154]

I’ve used rubbing alcohol for helping to spread a water and glue 60/40 mix for the glue and water. When you put down the glue sometimes it pearls and the alcohol helps spread the mix. I put the alcohol in a fine spray bottle you can find at a dollar store

[@loispadgett6306]

Enjoy learning the basics if your basic isn't right the rest will just not look as good. Thanks for sharing and it is really starting to come together. The engine you got looks and sounds great. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@mitchellbennis9236]

I’ve used some of your techniques and have had some good results, thanks Jimmy.

[@andycrawford9870]

Finally watching this series in order. And lo and behold, you built the Pikestuff building that is currently on my bench right now (although yours seems to build MUCH faster 😅 - the power of video!). Are you doing more on building construction? BTW where does one purchase those metal blocks to secure corners, weigh things down, etc? Love your easy to follow videos and techniques.

[@johnbanicki7232]

Another great video. Thanks for showing how easy scenery can be.

[@PetesPrettyGoodTrains]

Really covered a lot of ground there, pun intended!

[@olegray3705]

Thank you for the great videos. Definitely appreciate your knowledge and great techniques.

[@davidf9630]

Another great video, Jimmy. I hope that a new model railroader will see this video before they start. I for one went out and bought a green sheet of woodland scenics grass tarp stuff., And glued it down. I ended up scraping most of the color off and using the plain beige backing as the start of my Landscape terrain. That is more common to the central valley in California. We are pretty much a desert during the summertime gets up to over 100°. So there isn’t much green to be had. Also, I like the technique you use with the cap and ballast to make a clean line so you don’t have different colors running into each other and making it look sloppy.

[@SantaFeBob]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you.

[@4everdc302]

Looking good, Jimmy!🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲🙋

[@DJE2025]

👍👍Very nice! As always some helpful tips, Thanks. The cake decorating ag is a wonderful idea, I don't think it would make my wife very happy 😁. 🚂🚂

[@rwissbaum9849]

Jimmy, you mentioned using "Burnt Earth" - I believe WS makes Burnt Grass and they make Earth; I'm not aware of Burnt Earth. Based on the color, it looks like you're using Earth. Can you confirm? Personally, I prefer using Blended Turf (now I believe called Earth Blend) as my base - it's predominantly brown, but has several other colors. This avoids that monochromatic "grass mat" look. And don't stop at providing more than one color! Use a variety of textures as well. Sprinkle on some coarse turf in your chosen color to eliminate that "just mown" look.

[@michaelramsey82]

I believe what he was using is, in fact, Earth Blend. I used a lot of it on my layout and it looks very similar. I might be wrong though.

[@robertmyers5269]

@@michaelramsey82 There's a brief shot where you can see the container is 'Earth Blend'. It _is_ a good base coat color.

[@philhamsher3977]

just starting to work on scenery, so this was great to view. Nice to know that good scenery isn't and doesn't have to be difficult to get nice results. Thanks, Jimmy. Keep'em coming. :0)

[@Kermondale]

Looks Great

[@WeedMIC]

Any ideas on outside setups with regard to gluing ballast? One of my kids suggested epoxy, but I think it would require about 5 litres.

[@Steelerfan820]

Add some thinned out India ink as oil grease where locos' may sit as well as areas of switching.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the channel like you vid thanks lee

[@TheNorthwestWind]

you are def my train daddy

[@philhamsher3977]

You mentioned a "stay alive" function on your loco. Do you know when this function is running your loco? If not. how do you know if there is a dead spot on your track?

[@Jofranchu]

Easy R.R. Scenery.

[@tonykane8866]

What did u call that thing in that loco that ran in the dead spots . Do they have that in the N

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

TCS originally made it as “Keep Alive” it’s added capacitance on Broadway limited. Basically it’s a capacitor that can hold a bit of charge to get a locomotive through a dead spot. They are very important on sound locos since they draw more power than a non sound decoder. They do have it for N, it’s just hard to fit in a small space.

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

Nice.

[@Aiden_Kane]

What type/code of track did you use for this layout?

[@UFO4X]

Hey! Great video! You've hit on some very important and noteworthy points here! Unfortunately for me, KZbin wasn't here when I did my first layout, 2002. Now for the question! I am laying down extruded foam insulation board for my sub roadbed. I noticed you waited until you laid your track to paint it. I wanted to completely paint it with flat latex paint, before I lay down any track. Would the paint cause issues with the cork roadbed sticking properly or even staying glued down? Just curious.

[@renzi2326]

Hi Jimmy I am building MRR1. But a side note. I have Broadway Limited engines and I have found that Kato rail cars do not couple with them. BL rail cars do but I have to use Kato engines to couple with Kato rail cars. Is this common or am I doing something wrong? New at model railroading.

[@stevequinn5024]

Did you get my email? It was concerning this exactly but you didn’t cover it. Not trying to be disrespectful just curious. My ground cover and more so my ballast always becomes flaky. What is causing this? Thank you and love your channel.
