This episode is all about scenery on the HO scale Jones Island layout section, but first, David Popp and Ben Lake share progress updates on the freight house and Hoan bridge projects. David works on roads and grade crossings. Meanwhile, Cody demonstrates a three-step process for ballasting a freight yard. Then David switches gears to apply ground cover to an industrial site. To wrap things up, Eric White shows how he modeled a city park.

Rehab My Railroad is a cherished series begun on Model Railroader Video Plus in the mid 2010s. Episodes feature Model Railroader staff surrounding an existing layout with their knowledge, wisdom, and skills to help the host modeler upgrade the model train layout’s features without tearing down or completely re-building the railroad.
The MR&T stands for Milwaukee, Racine & Troy and is the large-room layout built more than 20 years ago by Model Railroader staff and their friends. The HO scale layout hosts multiple revisions and updates each year to support feature articles in Model Railroader magazine or online at Trains.com.
