Here is a video I took on one of the last days of the old TMB Model Train club layout which was dismantled in early 2013. You can see here a Shay pushing around a few logs cars.

Finally finished building my sanding facility for the Youngstown&Southern.
Glad I have 40 years of model railroading under my belt, because this baby was a bear to build. Everything warped, including my sense of humor by the time I finished.
But actions - and photos - speak louder than words.

Nice video shot and nice sanding facility.
Paul: great craftsmanship.
Beautiful job, Paul.
Vulcan, street scene is looking fantastic. Can you tell me where you got the SE
sewer drain or as usual, did you just scratch build it?

Steve nice video Paul very good job on construction of your sanding tower. I know what your talking about when you have to build something nice out of twisted up wood. Vulcan I cant say enough about your roads, sidewalks and weathering! How did you get the speckled look on the asphalt? I drove dump truck and paved A lot of roads and your scenery looks fantastic! Some of the best scenery I have ever seen I hope when I start on my landscaping it looks half as good as yours and I will be happy. Choo Choo Kenny

Now that's a compliment, coming from someone who knows ! Thanks!
The asphalt is made from sheet cork. Several different painted shades of gray and a little vinyl spackling give it that speckled look.
Sorry, Jerrman, it's scratchbuilt.
Great work, everyone!
