I wonder if they could have used a product we in construction call “Backer Rod” to fill the spaces between the scenery and the re-set fascia board. For those of you who do not know what this is, it is a foam rubber product that comes in rolls. It is placed in larger gaps and prevents caulking from falling through. It seems to me that it would be a much less messy thing, rather than shaving foam board to fit and then sawing it off above the layout. Just my thoughts

It looks really great. I just wish that I had the finances and room to tear down and rebuild my layout.

Keep on improving

Great Job David! I have noticed your personality is starting to show, as your getting comfortable being in front of the camera. I love the less formal approach while still being informative.
Neil, I have experianced the same problem with my layout fascia as well. I have done exactly what you are/were doing with the scrap foam insulation board. Wonderful tip for anybody else that has the same problem(s).

I liked it. Informative.

Hey, Cody. Monty also did TV as the color man, not just radio. I worked with him at the old TV38, pointing my camera at him quite a few times! Great trivia for us “old” Red Sox fans. Thanks.

I wad newspaper in large cracks and spray foam. After it cures, just trim it up with a knife.

You guys do good work. Keep it up.

My primary reason for watching this project relates to Williams Bay, Wisconsin. I have great interest in anything related to actual lay-out developments that are based on railroad history in that area.

Great job… really like you doing a “play by play” for the project, It makes the magazine articles come alive.

Just a thought, if there is any way to improve or increse your lighting while filming the segments it would sure help the viewer get a better look at all te hard work you put in on the projects. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Model Railroader staffers for the installments so far as it allows us to see the steps that need to be taken to develop a model railroad.

David I have a suggestion that you might want to consider. What I would like you to do is to remain stationary for two or three seconds after each scene and then edit at that point. I’m thinking of the future where someone might compile various scenes into a A/V presentation and being able to crossfade etc increases the editing options.

Keep up the good work guys.

Vary good

Kevin is spot on… Backer Rod would be a great gap filler for the project shown…

It looks really great. I just wish that I had the room to tear down and rebuild my layout

I really enjoy watching this series. It’s inspiring. Thanks for doing it!

Glad to see someone else makes a mess of their layout and sets things on the precious scenery.

coming along well keep up the good work.

I thought I saw an Athearn MP-15 Milwaukee patch-out on your layout before. Is this a different engine you are working on?
