I'm currently renovating a room for my layout. It's 22' x 16' and will have coved corners. My layout will be a freelancer Colorado narrow gauge in HOn3. I've drawn the track plans for it, and I can't wait to start building it. To prepare, I've been doing some city planning for one of the towns, called Twin Peaks (work name, yet to be decided) [url=https://flic.kr/p/UEMzsu][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/UEMzsu]IMG_20170518_110214[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/graffas/]Michael Graff[/url], on Flickr Main Street, the town will be 8' long. The station will be regauged to HOn3.

Especially if it is half as nice as your urban layout. The buildings look great!

Country: USA | Posts: 23 Graffen Fireman Posted - 02/20/2018 :  5:36:11 PM       Finally some progress! I've finally managed to clear out the space for the layout. The room as it looked... Insulation and moisture barrier. Sheetrock... We all love to do some sheetrock and mud and sanding, and mud and sanding.... I rounded two of the corners. I made a backing from two layers of 1/8" hardboard. I used 1/4" sheetrock that I wetted and bent to shape in the corners. The backdrop is now the next step (almost..) I need to install the lighting first. I painted a test piece just to see the colors and tonal values. It needs to be toned down a bit though. More like this test: I've ordered the carpet and all the LED light fixtures, so it's finally getting there.

Nice remodeling job. Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6164 David J Buchholz Crew Chief Posted - 02/21/2018 :  5:52:42 PM       I'm wondering what ship model that is in the background of the town photos? Since it has no place in the Rockies, why not sail it to the North Coast Railroad. They are in need of ships.(I am the superintendent of that Railroad) Edited by - David J Buchholz on 02/21/2018 5:56:04 PM Country: | Posts: 914 Graffen Fireman Posted - 02/21/2018 :  7:50:35 PM       That's the SS Wapama. It has already sailed to more appropriate waters. To a member of this forum actually....
