Lots of work is taking place on the Model Railroader staff’s Bay Junction model train layout. Associate editor Cody Grivno has installed his United Cooperative grain elevator, while senior editor Dana Kawala describes building the fertilizer plant that will be located in front of the scene. Managing editor David Popp will also show how the riverbed is shaping up. On the other end of the layout in Williams Bay, editor Neil Besougloff puts the finishing touches on the commuter station scene and associate editor Steve Otte talks about the scenery material that he’s using for the area around the town.

Probably the best of the series so far, very informative, keep it up you guys are great !!
Love watching these videos U guys do, but some things like the scenic water your getting ready to do it would be nice to watch as u do it for extra help on learning some things u need to see the acual project as it happens. would be much appriciated. Thanks keep up the excelent work.
looking good enjoying the tips hope to start my layout this summer
Will you video step-by-step the adding of the resin for your river?
I'm waiting for warmer weather here in Oregon to start my scenic water project.
Thanks
You guys do good work. What else can I say. I enjoy seeing the progress. Keep it up.
David …I love the shirt your had on !
These videos are always a pleasure!
Great video, thanks to MR staff for showing us the detals
Show how the water is done, not just the finished product. I have a water scene that I am putting on my layout and would like to see how this done. Thanks for the great video ideas I have watched all of them
Another great helpful video as always,Im always looking for the next one gives me ideas for my layout Im building as time allows me to spend on it ,would love to work with you guys must be awsome.
You folks continue to raise the quality of your videos, great job. May I suggest using more "cutaways" in segments? An example would be tighter shots of the buildings you are discussing. Just insert into the existing shot.
Again, so good to see video becoming a key part of your story telling efforts. The best part is you are all so genuine on-camera. We can identify easily with you.
The Bay Junction layout is coming together quite nicely. I especially like the detail that you've added to the area around the commuter passenger station. You've given me some great ideas on how to landscape and detail the area around the passenger station on my layout. Thanks again for all your great tips.
Good to see the layout coming alone so nicely, Hope my 8×15 comes out as good, Hope to see more.
I like the thot of swapping things from other kits that fit what you need for your current project. Good video
As always , great work guys, hope to come by sometime soon and see the MR&T in person. If allowable, I'll bring a couple of my CP AC440os with Tsunamis and run some pool power. Also, Love the Plug for The Pampered Chief.

Great job so far. But you guys are still missing the gravel pits that are part of the Williams Bay area. The trains did haul gravel and you can easily place the pit, side track,conveyors, etc. into your lay-out.
The movie Sudden Impact, with Kenora (sp)Reeves, also took place in Williams Bay, and used Yerkes Observatory in the movie. The observatory would look great, and add considerable historical attraction to the layout. Many observatory workers were regular passengers into Williams Bay.
I may have missed it but how was the blue background (sky) formed? is it fabric or plaster or what?
Great ideals and a lot of infornation on differn secouns. I like you ideals on you can use buildings for differn spots. Keep up the good job. I too am jealous of you guys that you have the time to play with you trains.
I enjoyed the video. I like what your magazine provides for all who are into model railroading. Keep up the work.
I really look forward to seeing this series. The scenery techniques were especially interesting as that's a new one on me.
Thanks David, and MR, keep up the great work.
Wow! The video journals are awesome. It has really enhanced my enjoyment of the hobby. I'm always excited to see an email from Model Railroader. Cant wait for the next newsletter! I also really enjoy watching Cody's Office. Keep up the good work!
It sure is great to be able to work all day at a hobby that you
love but also get paid for it. Great job guys. Can't wait for the
next isstallment.
