Model Building Toolbox Talk #3: The Use of Mirrors in Tunnels and underpasses

Our recent visit to see George Sellios' Franklin & South Manchester brought a TON and I mean a TON of ideas into my sights that I want to attempt on our own layout.  Now, I am realistic and I know that it will never look like what we saw this weekend and any attempt to do so will either end up looking like a blatant copy OR will never be what his layout is. But what I can do is take his techniques and apply them to our own layout in our own way to make our personal layout better. So my first takeaway is going to be the use of mirrors in a couple tunnels within our city. I got a couple cheap makeup mirrors from the local dollar store and will pop them out to use for the tunnels/underpass scenes.  I want to challenge our listeners to try to do the same thing! Get some cheap mirrors like I did (because there's no sense paying more than a dollar or two for them) and giving this a shot! OR if you have done this already, send us some pics! Note: The cover photo and photo in the show description were taken by Brett Wiley (myself) and are the original work of George Sellios on his Franklin & South Manchester Layout.
