Tell them hi for me and that I miss them. If you mess up the clearance I'm sure me and the girls can fix it for you....
Thanks Jim... well before I add color to the cliff wall I knew I should check the layout scenery killer first... Because we run such large engines on such tight radii tis the curse of this hobby.... this is an 0 - 100 curve and look at what happened here!

So I remembered a lessons learned as well to test the overhang going in the opposite direction... It will be different! This was an evil lesson I learned on the lower deck scenery that caused allot of grief.... sure enough it took out scenery in other locations. Note the picture below with another skive out "stripe" added further down in the curve...

Been there done that with cab roofs, we don't have any articulated steam, how far from track center to foam?
I tried to keep it 4 inches from center line with an 0- 100 radii, but here obviously I new would be a tight squeeze...
Well John no need for weed control on that curve.
I was going to have Mike V. bring over the MTH weed sprayer too.
Tonight I am going to check it again with a Vision Line challenger and the PRR S-1 Duplex...
What is sobering is this picture shows what area I THOUGHT would be the only area I would need to modify... note the small area of exposed blue foam...
This is fascinating to watch you build. Thanks for sharing. Nice work!
Thanks for the compliments Joe - I think the carving part gets a little mundane... however the painting sure is more appealing...

Looking very good, John.
This is really looking good. Imagine that we can look at it soon and feel like we are on the interstate watching the scenery and trains go by.
Please keep posting.
inspired to try is one thing, capturing your inspiration is....Priceless!
Looks great!
Looking good John.
Say Hi to the ladies for me.

Hi J Daddy, Wow, you are doing an amazing job with your model railroad. This is going to be a really fun to run Railroad....You are smart in checking your curve clearances and your height clearances before final scenic applications.....Job well done!
Thanks for posting and keep us up dated...Happy Railroading....Your Tennessee Connection....
Looking real good.
Beautiful. Nice Job.
Ballast looks very good, John.

Great scene! Has your layout been OGR?
