Thank you!!
First time I'm doing this kind of work, I appreciate the words.

Warehouse has a foundation now, It'll look better once I blend it and build up some platforms around it.

Worked out the railroad crossing after tearing up the first attempt at putting the track bed down. Different approach this time, much better result.

Looks great. I assume you checked the clearance of the train over the slats.

Yeah, it's tight but trains won't be running on it, just part of the display.

Some updates, it's been a while.

TimM63 · May 10, 2024

Did you make the trees or are they Woodland Scenics terrain pieces?
I like what you have done on this project. It's a lot of work. The railroad crossing turned out great.
I have built medieval villages in the past and it takes commitment and patience.
Nice job on this so far. Keep up the good work and keep us updated.

Thak you for the kind words and encouragement, quite the journey it's been.
I don't know where the trees came from, my friend just gave me a box of stuff with this to work with. Somethings in the box work, some don't, like O scale telephone poles.

What scale are you working with?
I used this a lot when building different terrain.

Laying in some ground cover before the forest of pines go in, also started building up the loading docks.

This is fun.

Not something I've ever done, and may not try.

But Cool AF.

I'm a massive fan of the craftsmanship/artistry, the line between the two is blurry indeed!
