To J3a-614 :   Micro-Mark  carries  black & also  Green  tufted material for making forests . This may save you the task of dyeing  White material  with  paint and stretching  material over that , they also  sell flocking .  John2.

Thank you for commenting on this!
One of the main purposes for me making this tutorial is to show how people can cut cost by 98.8%, by avoiding buying the ready-made materials in the shop. 12oz green poly fiber is $19,95. 120oz micro fiber in the pillow from IKEA is $2.02. Then I use Acryllic paint worth about $1 to color it.. If you are building a small layout, this will not make any difference to you, but if you build a large layout, this and every detail you add will make a quite significant difference. Both in terms of what you accomplished as a craftman and the resulting cost.

It´s all depending on your personal philosophy of how you want to craft your mrr.

Hi!

Since a few years I make all of my roofs on scratch built building and structures with White glue.
It´s Quick, cheap and easy to work with.

This is how:

Hi!

For most of my layouts I´ve been either buying ready-made walls and platforms, or been engraving in plaster on a wooden plate.
Now however, I´ve gone over to making all engraving in Styrofoam, finishing with a layer of plaster and then Acrylic paint.

The colours can be varied to fit whatever scenario you´re going for, but the process stays more or less the same.

Hi!

I made a tutorial of how I model my Mountains. Hopefully it can be of help for beginners.
The result is great.. I Think..

Yes. But you will not be able to play the different sounds individually. They will sound as per a preset pattern based on the DC voltage.

Thank you all for your kind comments! 
I realize my European style doesn´t completly match the strong US theme in this forum, but I found that many US railroaders make great stuff, which European guys don´t do especially well, so that´s why I joined in the first Place.

I especially love the way you weather the Buildings. It looks sooo great!

I mold the roofs in White glue. Don´t know how you do it, but I found it to be a very good and simple (cheap) way of doing it.
Here´s how:

Hello!

I just joined this great forum. I´m buildin a new layout currently, so I need help and advise to get things right.
It´s my 6th layout since 2001, so hopefully I will also be able to contribute to others.
Anyway.. Great to be here!  

A layout picture from today. A new car for transportation of looong timber!



I started the Construction of this layout back in 2012. The theme is Lumber and Ore.
