| Easy Track Cleaning - Use green Scotch pad type scrub sponge (dry)
to clean that dirty track. Works especially well on the larger gauges.
Never use steel wool on track. It creates tiny gouges that fill with
dirt and never come clean. Use rubbing alcohol or liquid track cleaning
solution to clean really dirty track. |
Tip 2: Water Features |

| Lakes & Streams |

| Here is a way to make those streams, lakes and rivers look amazing.
You can make them by using a "High Gloss Yacht Varnish" with a painted
river bed.
If you want deep water, you paint the base black with a faded Tan color
on the edges. If you want just a stream, you would paint it a brown
color with a wash of darkish green over it, and fading off the edges
again the faded tan color. |
