The road that goes up the hill between the building in the one video is just perfect. I think it's on the two rail portion of the layout. I think Dave said something along the lines of, "can't go out, gotta go up" and it works so well here. It's got me going back to the drawing board on my layout and wanting to add elevations.
Rj Shier-Thanks man and thanks for the sub!
Bill-Yes that road is in the other room. I actually need to add a grade crossing at the top of that road as well. Right now it dead ends and drivers run into the abyss. Yes, vertical scenery is another added dimension and because of the smaller size of that room I had to add that element. You're in a good place to adjustments.
Excellent work as always Dave!

Hi Everyone,
Here's my latest on the layout. Added some details, people, a fence, and another tree. The added dimension really changes things. This area is quickly becoming one of my favorite scenes on the layout. In a few of the photos I couldn't resist experimenting with filters.
Dave
Spectacular looking Dave.
John
Here's my latest YouTube video...
Thank you John!
i'm lovindemdetails! What a great scene.
Thank you John!
Looks great. Now I want to add some more buildings too. LOL
Thanks Dan! Go for it and let us see how it turns out.
Superbly done, Dave!!! What an inspiration
Hey Mark I really appreciate it. This forum is an inspiration.
Amazing the level of detail some folks add to their layouts. I really appreciate the thought and patience that goes into making a complete scene. With the small details, likely complete will never come...and that's the fun of it. Love the tenement row idea as that isn't something you see on every layout.
You are killing it, man!
George
Wonderful and inspiring work.
So many details! Excellent presentation Dave, I am studying this scene over and over again. Wow!
Andy
Well done!
Peter
you are so artistically talented!!!

Great work as usual Dave. Corners can be a PITA......you nailed it!
Bob
WOW Dave what an Amazing transformation! I have a section on my layout that could use some of that detail. Maybe next winter when I get more train room time! Either way I will keep fallowing you as others have said your quite the inspiration!
Dave, you're going to a legend! I love the scene in the latest video. I hope to see you published in an OGR issue soon!
Gentlemen,
I just got home from work and read through your comments. Your words are truly an inspiration to me. Thank you kindly for the compliments and motivation.
Dave
Very nice work!
Thank you BobbyD!
Looking good Dave. Keep it up.
Thanks Bill!
You did a very nice job on this. And as a bonus, I learned a few tips!
Thanks John! Now that you've learned a few things from me you only have about 97 more to learn and we're even!

Now that is a post worth a "like". How humble is it for someone to recognize another in the fantastic work he has done himself? In a world full of people who suffer from the "I's", nicely done - admirable.
Good Morning Everyone,
Here's my first iteration of installing "wires" on the layout. Photos and my latest video are provided below. I wanted to create some forced perspective, as most of us have seen with the prototype, with these high tension towers. I used Walthers HO scale transmission towers and MTH O scale high tension towers. While at it, I decided to unbox my Woodland Scenics substation and incorporate that into the project. Believe it or not I didn't decide to use the substation here until I had already begun installing the towers and then the lightbulb went off.
My advice:
Once you have done this type of work it's very difficult to work around it so make sure you don't have any major work to do around it or you're asking for trouble.
Thanks for stopping by,
Dave
Dave, you did a great job with the power line! Very nice video!
Those power lines look good enough to entice Godzilla!
Thank goodness that's not Tokyo!
Super job, my friend!
George
Thank you Mark and George. George I hope I don't "Godzilla" through those lines. I had to think long and hard about what type of work I still needed to do in that area before I decided to install everything.

Not to worry, we understand.
George
That's a heck of a job. As usual, I can picture this. There's a spot in Wampum, PA where you can see the power lines going off like this. It looks exactly like this haha awesome!!
George-You're killing me, lol!
Bill-Thanks man! If you can find a photo of the area I would like to see it. I guess the scene is pretty common around the country but that would be interesting to see considering I didn't use any photos.
Dave
Wow!!! Amazing. That looks great. Really enjoying this thread. Can't wait to see the creeks poured. Trees look great.
Tom
That’s some very impressive work Dave and it fits realistically with your topography.
