N Scale 1880's Train Layout Scott Gilbert 5/19/2006

N - scale Bachmann train layout. This is my first attempt at a model train layout. The time period is the 1880's. The layout uses Bachmann E-Z track because it came with the Frontiermans set. I added a Bachmann Pennsylvania 4-4-0 American Locomotive & Tender and a coal car. Woodland Scenics 3 % incline set, plaster cloth, rock molds, blended turf and pigments were used for the scenery. Heki trees were then planted. Set is 36" x 40". Photos are in chronological order left to right. I have about 75 hours and probably over $500 invested. I found some items on Ebay and most items were purchased via online stores.
