Use granulated piers, them cover them up with paper mâché or something. See DieselD199's most recent video to see what I mean.

It's that time of year again, folks! I need help finding where to buy Bachmann Thomas models for a semi-low price. I have tried Amazon, but they are running out of the impt characters. Help is needed. Thanks

[jward]

[Fergusfan17]

Thanks y'all... Found what I was lookin for

[shining time]

i have some dumb questions
1: what is the best track to use for the thomas engines
2: what would cause the engines to smoke if tracks are clean and theres no shorts in wiring or track connections
will also post in the help thread

[jward]

smoke is not good. it means something is overheating, which usually means there is too much current for whatever is hot. in other wordz, a SHORT in your locomotive.

best to park the locomotive and try another.
