Rick, my go-to road building material, taping compound, the stuff you use to blend in the taped drywall joints. Only good up to 1/8" & it shrinks a bit, thus the second coat. PaulE
Paul, think this is absolutely great, love the way the foam block look like quarried faces. So much to see and take in, did notice a wooden yard stick proped up don't see many of those these days .
Dzohn, thank you, I couldn't do trains w/o it. Has holes drilled in it at strategic locations so I can layout big curves
. I also have a couple wooden triangular cross section scales leftover from my drafting days. PaulE

Looks like a Nymph Paul as it isn't black it hasn't reached maturity........never will now. Great little creatures........wouldn't hurt a fly and they make the most calming music on warm summer evenings.......it's a toss up between them and the Bullfrogs. BTW looks as though things are coming together and we will see operations in the near future. Rick H.
