How to make Concrete Mountains on a G scale Garden Railroad

[@traviswaynegreer1]

thank you for these videos. ..not only can you landscape trains, we nerds love it because you can also landscape Dungeons and Dragons game boards

[@trainjam6596]

Wow, what great idea's you come up with. Looks fabulous.

[@mjmtrains]

Thanks, I used this method for many years in HO scale indoors using plaster and newspaper strips over wadded up newspaper. My garden railroad has a 6 foot mountain, cliffs, and water feature using the concrete method. Still good after 3 years.

Nice work!

Thank you

Hey Mike, started this process on my layout and it is amazing! Wish I'd taken your advice about gloves at first though. Thanks for the thorough tutorial!

[@mjmtrains]

Thanks, glad it helped.

thank you very much...now i don't feel so afraid to try it my self.....

[@joeyoung19475]

thank you very much...i enjoyed the lesson very much..doesn't seem so hard to do now

[@collinreid3165]

thank you for the video, gave me some better ideas on where to take my layout and enviroment

[@RENunez-sd6ov]

Thanks for the tip

The surface leaves room for improvment. Yet helpful video.

Wow! I've been looking for something like this, thanks for the great video. How durable is it?

[@mjmtrains]

You're welcome! It seems pretty durable, still looks good after four years. Depends on thickness in areas where it might get stepped on, etc.

[@williammcglaughon5974]

Thanks, with two little ones I'm more concerned about it getting climbed on.

[@mjmtrains]

Build it and they will climb

Anybody have any tips for a Person New to Garden Railroading?

[@kelvin8030]

can this be exposed to water features or can be used under the water?

[@mjmtrains]

+Distant Traveler I have used the same method for a water feature. In that case, I used a couple cans of that "flex-seal" spray. Rust Oleum makes several colors, but then I over-coated with Latex exterior paint. I assume a couple good coats of latex exterior alone would probably be enough for years. in this video, you can see my stream and pond. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-wpp2niqd4sNk

[@Flysooner9]

Would you be able to build a mountain 3-4 ft high using this method?

[@mjmtrains]

Sorry, Just saw this comment/question. Mt Meterbox is more than 5 feet high, see my other videos.
