My New York & Atlantic layout

[jonte]

Jonte, Gary, such kind comments are always much appreciated. I wish I would make some more progress on my layout, but I hope in a few weeks I can spend more time on it. One thing I did accomplish though, is painting the track and the ties.



Jonte, I am sorry, but it won’t help you much if I tell you which plaster I am using, because I am living in Germany. I am using Moltofill, a plaster that is quite famous here. You only have to mix it with water and it gets very hard when it is dry and does not crack easily, so it is very good for sculpting and modeling.

I haven’t decided yet if I will have some street running on my extension. If so, then I will use plaster for that, but aside from that I will use granite ballast and a mixture of dirt, sand and tile grout.

Thanks, Kurt, for your informative reply. I'll check the brand you mentioned on the internet (hopefully there's an explanatory video or some photos accompanying it as I'm ashamed to say that I only speak English :oops: ), however, it sounds from your description that it's a multipurpose, flexible filler which, no doubt, will be the same as Polyfilla - fingers crossed as I've got loads of it!
Good luck with the rest of the layout and be assured that I, like many others, will be keping a close eye to developments. I'm hooked.
