Very nice layout build Leandro! That engine house has some great details. Thanks for sharing your build with all of us!
@Richizzle07 Thank you !
Those are nice lights. I haven’t seen ones that resemble fluorescent tubes before.

@Mark Boyce, Thanks !
Nice!!!
Hi, Guys !
Now I'm starting to put just light by woodland Scenics.
In my first tests I liked the system and is very practice for installation, but I don't liked the port sharing device because in sharing the leds become low light.
So I think that I'll use only Light Hub + Expansion Hub!
Now I already have:
1 - Auxiliar Switch; 3 Expansion Hub; 1 Light Hub and 2 port sharing port.

Leandro, So it seems you are saying the port sharing device doesn't provide full voltage to each light. Do the existing lights dim more every time another light is plugged into it?
Second, it seems you are seeing the full voltage is distributed to each light plugged into the Light Hub and Expansion Hub. Is that what you mean? I have never used the Woodland Scenics system.

So it seems you are saying the port sharing device doesn't provide full voltage to each light - Yes, I think so I did a test and it is different !
Do the existing lights dim more every time another light is plugged into it? - I didn't this test yet I'll do!
Second, it seems you are seeing the full voltage is distributed to each light plugged into the Light Hub and Expansion Hub. Is that what you mean? So I think that Light hub must have full voltage in each out, but I don't know. The expansion hub I can only to use to connect Light hub ou Light sequence hub I can't connect the leds.
So I like Woodland Scenics system but I'm learning about it!
Leandro, Yes that is how it goes. I worked in electronics my entire career, but got so frustrated with DCS, I considered getting rid of it. Then I got the hang of it and like it! Ha, ha!
I’m glad I found this, I’m about to start my next layout build. Just about the same 23x11. I’ll be watching your videos once I’m out of work.

Hi Guys !
After a week in York, PA, I am starting work on the trestle bridge, and made a video of the purchases made at the pre-show and fair.
Thanks !!

Sacrilege! I'm surprised those PRR passenger cars didn't jump off the track and run away when they saw that crappy Dreyfus backing down the line to couple up.
Looks good, Leandro!
Hi, Guys!
After long time (118 days) I'm coming back to post news updates !
I'm really having a lot of work with trestle brige but I'm enjoying the results, so I decide to share with you how far I got !
Thanks,

Leandro, Trestles and the scenery do take a lot of work, but look great when done! How could you go wrong with Enzo and Giovana leading the way?! 👍🏻👍🏻
It is great seeing a family enjoying a layout together!

@Mark Boyce! Thanks !
They are not that helpful anymore!
This time of mobile phones and video games is complicated!

Ah yes, I understand!! Our girls weren’t interested in video games and didn’t have phones back then, but they weren’t interested in trains either! 😄😄
We all need breaks from the layout from time to time. Looking great and great progress, looks like your just in time for fall York now.

Great work!!! Fabulous family image!
Awesome progress! I never thought of the spray foam over cardboard lattice by the way. That's a clever trick! I haven't had the best experience with plaster cloth so that foam method definitely interests me.

I thought the foam was fantastic and very easy to mold once dry.
I have seen a couple folks use foam this week. The other used the cloth that is sold for gardening to keep weeds out. Both that or cardboard worked great

Any chance of doing a quick separate post on how you did it? What kind of foam, carving method, etc

Sure! It will be a pleasure, but I will need a weekend, ok?

Take your time haha I won't be able to start on my layout construction for a month at the very minimum. Probably going to be longer than that.
I’m in the same boat as @BillYo414 with not being able to start the scenery yet but very interested in your method @Leandro Garcia. Looking forward to your post, no hurry though.
