Reply to "Dunham Studios new entry level 4X8 LionChief layout for York"

Okay. So let's see where we end this week. Let me show you Delia building a mountain...or rather framing it up. What she's doing is setting up a skeleton around which she'll build her mountain. The photos are pretty much self-explanatory. Delia, I should note, has created a number of very realistic (geologically speaking) mountains on Dunham Studios layouts. She builds, carves and paints terrain, designs and builds historically accurate buildings and has become adept at using the 3-D printer so this 'toy look' scenery is a real change of pace for Delia...and for all of us. While Delia's building her mountain, John and Clarke are dealing with laying track on the figure eight trackboard, which you'll notice has been raised. That way, even on a 4X8 layout there can be 2 levels of trains for twice the fun. Speaking of trains Mike's set up a circle of track on a table to test the LionelScout for speed settings.
