Step one is to get the street up and over the railheads. I used bits of white pine, shaped with a hand plane and a belt sander.
For asphalt street I used black poster board from the stationary store. To get a color closer to old asphalt I spray painted the poster board with light gray auto primer from a rattle can. The white stripe was done with blue painters masking tape and a spray can of flat white.
The vehicles are 1:87 and “Fresh Cherries” from Walmart.
I used rubber cement to secure the posterboard asphalt roadway to the underlying foamboard. The rubber cement works better than latex caulking compound. The caulking compound causes the posterboard to curl up badly. The rubber cement lets to poster board lie flatter, but it takes longer to dry and stick.
I need more vehicles, and detail stuff, signs, trash cans, more people, maybe utility poles. Although utility poles with wires just stand there and say “touch me, I dare you”.
