Hey friends, I've got the next video uploaded as part of my series on building the UP St. Marshall Sub in HO scale.
In this video, I explain why I chose to use white styrofoam for my scenery base, and how I cut and shaped the foam in preparation of adding landscape materials.
The St. Marshall Sub is my proto-freelanced representation of PTC-era UP mainline somewhere in the midwest. It is 5 1/2 x 15 feet, currently in the basement of my old farm house. I recorded all the steps I used to build the layout, and I'm slowly getting all the clips edited for your enjoyment!
Please check out the previous videos in this series, and subscribe to my channel. Coming soon in this series: Painting and Ballasting track, Static Grass, DIY Trees, Roads and Parking Lots, CTC Signal System design and build, and Operations.
