A friend of mine gave me the tank ,so I could build a bulldozer . It would be the biggest dozer I've seen . As of today it has a new home with my good buddy who always wanted a big toy . Mike

Well that makes me feel a little better. I thought it was something I did because I've been dealing with the freeze up issue for quite some time.

Your road building skills are top notch Mike.
What exactly did you use? Is it crusher fines or stone dust? Looks like it packed very well and is rc truck friendly for sure.

Hi Mario I bought what I call stone dust and put down an inch wet it and pack it with my packer in a previous photo . Then repeat another inch and pack and inches til get where I want to . I also put weed cloth under it all . I have one hill and my KH would always spin or lose traction and I had a brain wave I sprinkled the road with polymeric sand what they use in interlocking stone . Mike

Thanks Mike. That's a great idea! I was thinking stone dust, that's what I used underneath some patio stones a few years ago and noticed the stuff packs really well but was concerned about how it would be when dry. So polymeric sand is the trick Thanks again!

I had the same thoughts with using 7/8's trains next to my 1/14 equipment. Can we get more pictures of your layout and rolling stock? Model railroading has been a hobby of mine since I was 5. At the moment I am into HO scale 1/87, nothing built yet, just bought cars and an engine.

That is a very nice looking road Mike. 1/2 " thick, should be very solid even for the off highway loads...
