Sippin' Swamp Diorama - Part 10 - Dominoes
One thing that I know not to do is to model when I'm tired and need sleep. Of course, I know I need to eat right and exercise and I don't do that either.
I checked the strength of the pilings to make sure they were strong. Yup! Good shape. So let's sand them flat. I've done this many times and am a professional.
Using a sanding block I gently, very gently sand the tops of the ties level....
That's gently, stupid! Crap. They fell like dominoes.
I keep a notepad by the desk all the times. I made a note to buy some Ailene's Tacky Glue, which is a little stronger than Elmer's. I ran out.
Using full strength Elmer's I glued them all back again. A couple are not level, but we'll fix that later.
All the dominoes are stacked up again!

Do you show how you mounted the rails onto the ties anywhere? I have never tried to hand lay rail and all the links I see show it being laid onto the ground and/or pre-curved rails being used. This little swamp scene will fit well on my layout, but I'm fearful of all those ties splitting when I try to put in a spike! Sonny L
