Reply to "Utacolzona Railroad in On30 (built 2020 - 2022) Last Update 10/14/23"

It's Sunday. March 6th.  More rocks to show!
I thought I had more than this one shot of the base coloring before adding all the colors to give realism.
This shows all the cutting put into the foam.  Something I did learn from other modelers was to
cover the track.

These next shots show close to the final coloring of the rock formations.
The buildings keep being put on and off to find their final locations.

These pictures also show a huge mistake I made.  I started this out as a portable layout which it
still is but, I did something I always did on the O gauge layout... I ballasted the track.  ALL of the track!
So far, all I had was a small amount of wood, foam, and track.  What a huge amount of weight the fine
stone added!  I was planning, and did, to put dirt and some weeds & grass down and then sprinkle
some stone to give the appearance that there was some ballast there.
Now it is a two-person portable layout.

Another craftsman-type building for the On30 layout.

One other thing to point out.  All of the buildings, cars, trains, and high rock formations come off
to be able to move this layout through doorways.  Those pictures coming up.
