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

Haven't had much time to catch up lately...just been adding likes over the past 10 days.

Some time was spent concocting a method of passenger seat mass production.  So many of my cars need interiors, especially coaches and tourister sleepers.  I fashioned these out of colored craft foam and styrene.  One car takes about a days worth of cutting and assembling.  Rough but passable.

 

Began the end stages of completing my 2 rail CLW GP35.  I'm not really happy with the paint so might go back later and redo it or just fully Dulcoat it.  I opened up the solid front grills and made new ones out of cat walk and brass.  Bought some LED lighting for the Geep and will attach that to it's decoder then done for now.

Another brass project was this Canadian Pacific van.  Many detail parts were scavenged out of the kit so I improvised or made my own where needed.  The steps were particularly tricky.   Making 4 identical copies was....um....fun?  When the opposite platform and undercarriage is completed then it's time for paint.

Hit the season opener train show last weekend and added to my stash of detail parts while there.  Picked up a Railking RTR set with a PS2 3V Pennsy H10 for power.  The nasty modification plans I have for this engine should be criminal.
