Really nice, Bob.  The buildings look great together.


Jeff

Great looking layout, Groovey.  A shame it has to come down.  Hoping you can start planning/construction on the new one soon.

Jeff

Nice work on two great looking structures!


Jeff

Greg, I usually use the kerfs (with the California Roadbed) on the larger radius (outside of the curves).  That said, I just looked and have some on the insides as well.    I don't think it matters with large radius curves, but smaller radii might.  After covering with ballast, I don't think you'll see the kerfs.

Jeff

Neat story, Tom.  Nice pics of a great layout as well.

Jeff

Congratulations to Eric on a great build.  All of the participants deserve kudos as well, they made it very difficult to pick a favorite. 


Jeff

As usual, some rookie builds kits better than I do.   


Jeff

Nice yellow boxes!  Sorry I wasn't there to help with moving the carpet.   


Jeff

Great diorama and nice work on the structure. 


Jeff

Nice job, Bob.  Per usual.   


Jeff

Beautiful diorama, David.  Hard to believe it's a paper kit.


Jeff

Great diorama, Dustin.


Jeff

I've used the Gatorfoam, plywood, and the foam insulation board (2") for diorama bases.  They all have advantages/disadvantages.  The foam can be carved below the level of the structure, I'm not keen on trying to carve the Gatorfoam as it would lose it's strength.  The plywood is strongest, but heavy.  For future scenery areas, I'm using the insulation foam. 


Jeff

Nice rockwork and trestle, Frank.


Jeff

Nice job, Eric.  The water looks great!
