Mark you made it thru the birds… here they would be sea gulls. They look great. Glad that you are making good progress on the layout and hope that the medical issue is better.
Scott the cars look great. 12+ hours to do the first. How long did the last one take? Regardless, it was worth it. Very nice.
Peter glad to see progress again on the station. It is going to be a special layout. We hope to see it one day.
And Jason… finally getting the backdrop done. What do you think? It really changes the appearance of the layout! What a change! When we did our backdrop, it made it feel like we finally had a train layout.
It has been a busy week here and 80% of the ballast in the Roanoke Shops area is down. We have averaged 2-3 5# bags a day and our three + box supply from Dennis Brennan is down to less than a box.
Paula just ordered the material for the road. She has been busy this week turning wood into concrete pads complete with expansion joints, cracks, and weathering. Rich cuts the wood and gives it to Paula.
No photos yet but hope to have today/tomorrow when some loose ends are tied down.
Bill, the last Zephyr passenger car upgrade only took 4 hours! And I had just enough blue paint to finish painting the passenger seats! Thanks for the compliment!
