I think this would be better if there was a 'Best Practices' thread, but I dont think there is going to be one since the suggestion died in the Forum Suggestion Box.
Anyway, in a few months, I'd like to start building my layout. I'd like to think I'm a pretty creative guy so I think I'll be ok making things, BUT... I'd like to know, what do you guys use to make certain features on your layouts?
Water - I know there is the Woodland Scenics Realistic Water, but what else do you use?
Paint for Rushing Water -
AgedLumber- I've seen scratch-built buildings and other things with wood that looks aged, what do you use and how do you do it?
Windows & Doors -
Roads -
Grass -
Ground Cover -
For open spaces -
For train yards -
Fencing & Posts - I've seen people use aluminum screen, but what else?
Tunnel Portals and Retaining Walls - This is Forest Dunsmore's thread titled the same: Here
Hopefully we can get quite a few responses here and it will be able to help not only me, but others looking to start building their layouts.
Thanks guys and girls!
Mike
