This is the last step.
I used GREEN MAX No.77 power pole.

I used following turf (all of them from woodland scenics)
After applying turf, I used dropper and spray so it would stick stronger.

Next step is ballasting tracks.
I used MORIN Railroad stone No.431.
After ballasting, saturate the ballast with white glue and water mixture.
I used Matte Mediums instead of white glue.
Ratio of Matte medium and water is 1:2.

After acrylic paint has dried, I started making hill.
I used styrene foam,Kaminendo (witch means paper clay)
and Woodland Scenics plaster cloth.
First,cut the plaster cloth and dip into the water.
Do not dip in water too long. Too much water cause lumber to bend.
Quickly rift up the plaster cloth and apply on the hill.
Press the plaster cloth with a brush so grain of plaster cloth would disappear.
I used Kaminendo to make grain disappear completely.
Thanks.

Before painting tracks,I soldered feeder cables.
I drilled a hole through the plastic part of tracks so cable would hide after ballasting .
I also insulated track for signals.
To paint tracks, I used TAMIYA XF-52 acrylic color.
It took just few minutes to dry.

I installed Lookmodel's DCC decoder on Spectrum USRA 4-8-2 Mountain Locomotive.
Remove the body shell. Body was glued to the chassis so it was hard to remove.
Next, remove the lighting unit and unsolder the metal part from wire.
Metal part should be preserved because this part would be used later.

I installed Lookmodel's DCC decoder on Kato P42 Amtrak Genesis.
This is the custom painted engine.
This is the decoder that I have installed.
Most of decoders are too sharp on and off with LEDs.
Add small PCB board for ditch lights.
Cut clear parts like this.
Here is the video:
Thanks.
