Dave Healy said:Yes, that's right its rolled roofing material. An idea stolen from Bruce. It came in a 3 foot wide roll and I made one 6' x 6' section by sticking two pieces together with pond liner tape.Brian Donovan said:Brian, what did you make the town centre out of? Looks like asphalt!
and I did get my town center done

Here’s 55 feet of freight train in my backyard.
I love big rigs, especially going up a steep grade, and that looks near enough to 3% toward the tail end of the train. Great photo, Brian!
I count a loco and 25 freight cars, including the caboose. Is that right? What’s pulling this baby?
Dave,
Thanks,
30 cars including caboose. There’s 3 hoppers you can’t see and a tankcar that’s also not visible.
The loco is a single USA Trains GP7 with airwire/battery power. It had no problems with this train. I ran it for a couple of hours. By the way…not to shatter the illusion but there’s no grade.
