What I didn’t do on my layout today.
Wife’s good friend Therese drew this on a board to cover fireplace when not in use a few years ago. Nice. We like it a lot.
Picking up on that theme I painted the 8’ fascia board with black chalkboard paint, and asked Therese if she would draw a steamer on the front. Boys and girls, what she created is a keepsake whether on the layout or not. Very, very nice, and beyond my expectations. While the photo lighting at night is dark, the detail she applied is fantastic. I wanted to share with you as there are people outside our hobby who “get it” also. Nice to have good friends who will prop you up when needed.
