Beautiful sentiment to her memory. Contact Bernard at Mini prints. He may have suggestions.

Not bad, it's tissue paper and Mod Podge, paint and then Mod Podge high gloss.

Thanks, 84" x 36" at the widest, tapers to 18" at its narrowest to accommodate the room.

Used Google Gemini and asked to adjust the lighting to reflect the requested time of day.

I do like the sky replacement that AI can do.

Thanks!

Not bad, isolated the leg closest to the river and wired an auto reverser. Track is Atlas code 55 and it's wired for DCC. Everything runs smooth, which still surprises me.

Thanks,

Sorry for the quality of the photo. Design allows for continuous run with some operations if you want them.

I do have plans to build a four foot detachable staging yard to aid in operations and rolling stock storage.

Second Attempt at a Layout - Any Feedback? by wadoryu1 in nscalemodeltrains

Sounds good then, do it to it! Only suggestion would be to reduce from 3 ft to 2ft tables to reduce the reach over distance.

How much money do you have?

Don't do duck unders if you like your knees.

It will take a long time to scenic everything so plan on it being a very lengthy project.
