Building Model Railroad Scenery with the Experts

Brain Holtz' Denver & Rio Grande Western at Night. Dave Frary says don't be scared of geology or scenery, but there are a few basics yo need to know. Malcolm Fuller shows you how to make the basic support for your scenery. The professional rock maker, John Olson, joins Malcolm to show you how to carve, cast, and color. Dave makes the basic scenery green, brown, and yellow. John returns and adds life to the scene with trees, and bushes. Litter and clutter may not look great in real life, but Gordon Odegard says they add life to a layout. This liquid scene flows on as Bob Hayden makes water the easy way. The extra dimension is in the background, and John makes full use of it. Malcolm's scenery is so good, much of it is done with mirrors. Tying it all together is best explained by John. Stacked track, what should you do? Dave has the answer. Jim Hediger has actually built a layout with two levels. Now he joins the two elevations.
