The dirt is not ... ( 1 year ago by thebige61)

The dirt is not loose on the layout. It's held in place by the glue. It hasn't been a problem so far.
I actually do use a few castings in the scenery. I neglected to mention this in the video.

What keeps the dirt ... ( 9 months ago by EXPL721)

What keeps the dirt from developing mold? The drying process? I've used construction sand. 50 LB bag was not expensive. It had little pebbles in it which was an added benefit. You can dye the sand different colors or get colored sand at the arts and crafts shops.

I suppose the drying process does take care of any mold issues. I've never run into any mold problems. Construction sand does sound like a good way to go also.

I use Woodland ... ( 7 months ago by thebige61)

I use Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement. I mist the grass and dirt with some "wet" water first. "Wet" water is just water with a couple of drops of dish soap added. The soap prevents the water from beading up on the dirt and ground foam and it soaks in a lot quicker. I spray the scenery with "wet" water first to hold the dirt and ground foam in place plus it helps the scenic cement soak in faster.

Classic Toy Trains ... ( 5 months ago by cflynn1979)

Classic Toy Trains did a project layout years ago, and they also used real dirt. If memory serves me correct they microwaved it vs. baking it in the oven. You gotta heat it to kill off anything organic living in it!

I noticed you ... ( 5 months ago by je972)

I noticed you did'nt show the use of any washes after you applied the base coat, but it looks like maybe you did use some? Excellent layout and scenery by the way, and in my hometown to boot! you have given me a new respect for n scale.

haha, sometimes you just get in the zone. i tried to airbrush instead of using washes for my first n scale layout and it did'nt work out too well. Thanks for all the videos!

I still have other parts of my layout that need scenery. I'll probably tape the "washing" step then.
