Reply to "Dunham Studios "Family Heritage Lionel Layout""

Delia has spread a white glue mixture on the base-painted 'earth' at the front of the layout. On this glue-coated surface she plants grass and bushes before overspraying with a thinner glue mix. (Trees come later.) The center section with the trestle (to come) and curved bridge has advanced as a unit. But the 'earth' will spill over onto the step unit where it now sits looking naked in a rough-cut of blue Dow foam. When those 'land extensions' are painted and planted they will be the start of a series of scenes using the Plasticville buildings I showed you earlier, people, vehicles, trees and billboards. You might be wondering about that open circle in the middle of the upper stone wall. Delia and Roy will create a 'river of water' which will pour through the hole landing on the riverbed below. A fun idea.
