35yrs of high-end extreme rock climbing has given me a unique appreciation for nature. Now that I am old and disintegrating, need to revisit a very old hobby. Whenever I look at a layout, I can't help but wonder, "Would I want to climb that cliff?". ;-)

What a good man you are...very nice lifestyle...I really liked what you did with the ballast....it's true to life the way you did it...why not! Tamping it even lol..I'd think that after you completed the ballast and glued what you want to stay....taking a cordless air (leaf blower) you can kind of blow the table off and boom cleaned!

A one of those dollar storm mustard catch up, squeeze bottles.

Works pretty good for the train tracks. Oh k, see you later, thanks.
