Jeff,
I always look forward to seeing your posts. I totally agree with Alex. You have packed a lot of interest and detail in a smaller area and have done so without it looking over crowded. This is truly a work of art. Keep the pics and videos coming.
Can you tell me what you use,for ground cover, in your engine service facility area?
Dave

Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback! Relatively speaking, there aren't that many of us that can appreciate this stuff, so it is nice to share with and get recognition from our peers. One of the many benefits of this forum!

The ground cover in the engine facility is just Woodland "fine balast - cinders". But, what I have done elsewhere is, if you live in NE PA or someplace with coal silt, get a bucket of it and sift it down into different levels of fineness. I also raised the areas between tracks to give a feel of the tracks really being buried in there.
