WESTPORT TERMINAL RR

Street & track

I made my streets with plaster, gypsum. A few sheets of hard paper to get nearly top rail level.
The rails should be paved.

You see the track is covered with plaster, a very thin one, fluid like porridge. Then comes my special tool I've made from a car weight. With this special tool I scraped the plaster. Here the plaster is still fluid. But it works also when the plaster is hard. You can carve gypsum.

To clean the flange way at the turnouts I use a screw driver or my other tool.

I've painted a concrete color, added some powder for the yard area. With turnouts you must work carefully. I omit the throw bar. This part will be covered with a steel plate (made from Evergreen).

And more pictures.
