Pathway Materials for Model Train Village

Video Transcript

"My name is Kevin Blakeney and on behalf of Expert Village, we are now going to show you how to chose pathway material for your new circulation areas. So now that we have our circulation in mind we want to pick up materials for our pathways. Now there is some premade materials, these are actually made for model Christmas villages. But they work perfect in scale and they are easy to cut out. It is a flexible rubber material with a pattern printed on it, they come in brick or in cobalt stone. These can be easily laid right under each building and glued in place and they are automatic patios. Now if this look does not fit your fancy and you want something a little more costume you can buy all different sizes of this course gravel. This can be poured out into place creating pedestrian path and roads. You are going to want ot sweep up any excess and then drip a 1 to 1 ratio of elmers glue and water right onto the top. Using either a eyedropper or a little squirt bottle. You want to let that dry for 12 hours. It is going to be perfectly held in place and it would be a automatic road. Now you want to keep the sides of this gravel in consideration when you are choosing. Because you don't necessarily want gravel that is going ot outside the size of the tires on your automobile. However, it does look natural as a pedestrian path so you want a smaller sides for roads and bigger size for paths and you can even use a bigger size as just general landscaping to fill in your space. So now that we have pathways ready we are ready to add in any extra landscaping and move on to the next step."
