More Updates from the O Gauge Wheeling & Lake Erie

Looks great!  Keep the photos coming, please!

You've done an excellent job capturing the look and feel of the Wheeling.  Meant to ask last week- is your 84 Lumber model based on the one that's right off I-70, east of Speers/Belle Vernon? The overall look and track arrangement are very similar.

Great job!

It's actually loosely based off of the 84 Lumber in Bridgeville, Pa along the mainline. There is a lot of artistic license, but it is right along the main with a small spur.

Great looking track work and surrounding scenicing.

That is the most realistic looking O Scale grass.

 

Where did you get the grass?

 

I have to get that grass to improve my scenery.

Does anybody have any insight as to what brand of grass was used to make that great field of grass on the slopes and hills?

Good Day Andrew,

 

I'm guessing the grass are from Scenic Express. Grass Mats and Structure Grass

I was planning getting several of those Heki grass mats by the end of the year.

 

The fake fur that is in place next to my tracks right now only looks good from a distance of 4 feet away.

The grass is from Heki. It is fiber strands that I airbrush once on the layout to correspond with the amount of water that vegetation would get in it's location. I love any of Heki's static grass.

Hi Andrew,

Could you tell me what you used (color, brand) to weather your rails?

They look great!

Paul
