“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

    I thought I was looking at a real train at the end. Your talent is great! I will always remember your tips and tricks when I create my layout. I'm picking up all the lumber I need this Friday to build my base table. Your videos always kick me back into "build your layout and have fun with it" mode. Inspiration at its finest. Thank you.

    Jimmy, you are such a character. You make me smile and you make me laugh, but above all you provide so much inspiration. I do love watching your videos but am terrified that when I come to doing scenarios I will forget some of your wonderful lessons. I like Luke Towan but you bring a refreshing simplicity to the task which is not so demanding but which produces amazing results.

    Jimmy!! Amazing work AGAIN! I'm a huge fan of Luke Towan and he's got a trick for remembering where he drilled the holes for the trees. Create flagged toothpicks with numbers on them and a board for storing them upright with appropriate number placements on the board so you know what when where. Once you've got your trees where you want them to go (prior to scenery), swap a toothpick with a tree. Now you'll know exactly where the hole was drilled and because your tree went into the toothpick's spot on the board, you know exactly which tree goes where. Keep the videos coming!!

    For cheap and effective sculptor mould alternative, take about 10 sheets of soft toilet paper, put it in a nutri bullet, give it a whizz and you have excellent paper fluff. Put about an inch of plaster in a fruit jar, add the fluff to loosely fill the jar, put the lid on and shake vigoursly to coat the fluff in plaster. Add water and mix to whatever consistency you require. Works great and above all it is cheap and easily made.

    60 years ago I handlaid my track and super elevated my curves. I used 24 inch radius but a slight problem ocasionally rises in that on of these curves is on a 3% grade and because the super elevation tends to move the cg of cunterflow hoppers to move slightly towards the centre of the curve and on a long train has the potential to cause the cars to pull inwards and fall off the track

    I really like that you did all of this without static grass. I keep trying to add static grass, but it always seems out of scale for N scale. Maybe I just need to stick with fine turf.

    I'm new at this, and learning as I go, and I had no idea there was this thing called sea foam. I'm stoked. Thanks for the excellent video. I've learned how to make my hills and mts out of styrofoam, using a butcher knife and a heat gun to shape them. Then, coat with glue and sprinkle different types of sawdust on it. Works for me.

    Should read centre flow in previous comment. The prototypical looking lean of the cars on super elevated is good but sometimes there are advantages in sacrificing a bit of looks for more reliable practically in trouble free operation

    Don't forget the feet. Module height should be adjustable from 2 3/4" to 4" so that they will line up with each other.

    Another great video! Im wondering if the sculpt a mold can be used to make smaller rock/mountain cliff sides? I am just getting started with an N scale layout and I need a way to make the train dissapear for a minute. I did see one of your videos about that, however I am using the same size as a door and I don't think I want such high mountains. Any suggestions?

    Question the type of glue used before laying the grass and ballast. Also the mixture that you applied to the grass and ballast so it could dry where can I get those from.

    Your work never ceases to amaze me my friend. A quick question though, Was there some extra cleaning that you had to do to the rail heads due to the spraying of the Glue/water mix and alcohol? I would think that there would be a residue build up. Thank you for your help. Starting my layout and trying to be as informed as possible.
