@Trainmaster04 posted:Good evening everyone! Work continued the past two days with road work crews paving news roads. I noticed a parking lot was needed for the now permanent freight station. Road crews were dispatched and started paving. Using Eric’s (@ericstrains.com) method of using woodland scenics cinders with Elmer's glue, I was able to get the parking lot done. I had at first thought taking the road way across the yard and connect into town, but decided not to. Instead, I made it go straight across the yard loop and main line. The grade crossings are made out of balsa and still need to be stained and signs be added appropriately.
The work gang soon moved into town and commenced work in front of the station and homes. Main Street was also continued and connected with station street. I need to find, or make, stop signs for the intersections and clean the edges of the roads. The space in between the roads is still up for debate and will probably be filled with buildings.
Thanks for reading, and happy railroading!
Trainmaster04, It looks like you use black cinder small ballast and white glue to do your roads. If I'm correct, I did the same on my layout, it's a lot of work and prep, but it does look good. Your roads look great, nice work.
