The Seneca Lake Scene Takes Shape! - Finger Lakes Railway Layout Update 15

[@andrewalberlan5097]

It was great to meet you yesterday. I had no idea this existed. Keep modeling.

@@andrewalberlan5097 Thanks Andy!

Man you are really doing such a great job of modeling the FGLK. I can see you're not taking any shortcuts and aren't afraid to put in the hours. Those townhouses are perfect for Geneva. The yard office is great too. Great to see Himrod yard, and the NS flyover. Take care - Bill.

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks Bill! Definitely putting a lot of thought into it. Glad it's showing through!

[@AndrewHurley-g8n]

Really cool senceir

[@trevsvlogs]

I just wanted to say I've been following your channel for a while now, and I am really enjoying seeing the layout start to come together, as well as your instructional videos. They are definitely helpful for me as I am getting ready to start my own layout soon. Keep up the good work.

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks Trev!!! That means a lot! I really appreciate it!

[@trevsvlogs]

@@FGLKPaul Yeah, no problem! I look forward to seeing further updates.

[@SpringfieldAndWestern]

I´m usually not too much into layout updates of other layouts, but I really enjoyed this one. I believe the scene with the lake in front will look great once finished - looking forward to this one!

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks for the kind words! Be on the lookout, more progress on the scene in the layout update that will be released this Thursday! No water yet but we'll get there... Lol

[@jeffycramy3463]

Thanks for the info. I do have some double stacks. And that’s what I was looking at. But thanks again.

Great visiting your layout last month for ops weekend. Looks like it’s come a long way since then. My layout and yours, being from a similar area of the state have a lot of the same architecture and natural elements. I picked up a custom 3d printed set of tow houses like the ones in your picture on Amazon. Also, if you need a lot more trees, I’ve been making my armatures out of hydrangea flowers. They’re a lot like the seafoam super trees but a little more woody and robust. Also free if you know someone with a hydrangea bush, although what you save in price you make up for in hand trimming the flowers off. Greg

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks Greg! I actually have a hydrangea in the garden. Still waiting for it to get mature enough to use in this capacity though.

[@HartfordWhaler]

Just joined. Good stuff

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks Paul!

[@jeffycramy3463]

I really like that bridge scene. What is the height of the rail on the bridge to the rail below? What is the grade coming from under the bridge up to the right.

[@FGLKPaul]

Thanks Jeff! The grade is about 3% from Himrod up to the switch. Everything else is significantly less, about 1.75% if I recall. I can't remember the exact height of clearance. It's enough space for high cubes. I've never tested higher stuff, since FGLK doesn't run anything higher than that.

[@AndrewHurley-g8n]

I probably didn't spell that correctly
