I managed to finish rouging in the second tunnel portal, and contoured the surrounding landscape.
I stained the wood portals with a mixture of burnt-umber oil paint / varsol, and then lightly over-sprayed everything with black spray paint.  (I made sure I stained the wood before I started gluing the surrounding scenery as the glue [...]]]></description>

Having given the track 24 hours to dry, I finished removing the ties in the areas damaged the previous evening without incident, and successfully ran a few test laps with Pete&#8217;s Speeder around the oval; all rail joins and turnouts were smooth.
I weathered the ties and rails by applying several light coats of different coloured [...]]]></description>

I found that there was a kink at one of the joins along the spur at the rear of the layout, so I tried filing it back to scale.  This was [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve tried several different ways to lay track, but I haven&#8217;t found any technique that is a slick as using latex caulking as an adhesive.  The technique is very simple; smooth a small bead of caulking onto the roadbed; pin the track in place; done!  The major advantage of this method is the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve used foam for landscape contours before, and found the only drawback is that the foam is a bit flexible, so pressure on its surface can cause indents.  This is no big deal &#8211; unless of course you&#8217;ve applied some plaster or spackle atop the foam, in which case it tends to flake off. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trackplan for Pete&#8217;s Pumpkins railroad is loosely based on Chuck Yungkurth&#8217;s Gum Stump &#38; Snowshoe model railroad &#8216; a small 1&#8242;x6&#8242; switching layout published in Model Railroader in the 60&#8242;s. The hallmark feature of the Gum Stump &#38; Snowshoe was the switchback arrangement that allowed for the mainline to cross over itself.  I [...]]]></description>
