Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

A few nights ago I performed some urban renewal.  I created this engine terminal facility for steam and diesel locomotives.  Doing this involved removal of a brewery, which may be re-located.  The top two photos shows the new engine terminal.  The bottom photo shows the brewery as it was before removal to make way for the new facility.

The sand house is a Model Power section shed for hand or motor car storage.  I used the shed's flat extension to create a raw sand storage area and wooden cross ties as containment walls.  Behind the sand house you will see a HO gauge industrial smoke stack.... to allude to a baking oven inside the shed for baking the raw sand.  The raw sand itself is from the beaches of Ocean City, Md.  Directly across from the sand house is the sand tower ( by MTH ).   Sand turns white as it is dried from the baking process, so I have applied the spillage of white sand around the track on which the GP9 is sitting.  IMG_5729IMG_5737IMG_1026
