After making sure that all engines fit, and clearances were OK, I
moved some workbenches to a different location and re-tested
the clearances. Then I removed everything to begin marking
the individual board lengths on the flooring, and punching nail
heads into it (a time-consuming job, but worth it to get the end
result). Next I stained the entire floor to give it an aged and
well-worn look. When doing this, I made sure to weight the
18
18. Painting all of the details on the castings is a real
time-consuming job. Don’t plan on doing it all in one
sitting. Once the details were glued in place, I gave
them a black wash to get that used, dirty railroad look.
