DPC - I am off to Lowes ASAP. Sounds like the airbrush might be a real pain to use since I have had that feedback from other people as well.
As for the theme - my original thought was western but my grandchildren are really into dinosaurs and the whole platform concept has changed to one that is just fun to play with. I plan to add trees, ground cover, etc so I hope Jim is right. It doesn't have to be perfect but I don't want it to be ridiculous either. But then again, did they have steam engines 65 Million years ago? This layout will because that is Dinosaur hill and there will be dino's all over it!
The underside of that mountain is a huge cave that the trains go through. It has black lights and dinosaurs, snakes and other glow in the dark creatures. They can see in from the back and that is actually turning out pretty cool.
Thanks to all for the help.
Glad we could help.If you leave the track while your at lowes get some of the 2 inch wide painters tape to cover the track.Practice on a piece of scrap with the textured paint before letting it fly on the layout.That stuff comes out of the can like a fire hose so it take a little getting used to.
Have fun
