Lee, it's looking great.... After using acrylic paint on my Lionel coaling tower, I weathered it some more with india ink diluted with alcohol... it helped bring out the wood grain even further. You can try a test on a small area that's not visible on the vertical coal chute/elevator.
Mark thanks for the kind words. Hope you are doing well...
I had a productive day, got all ballast done on the new section of main line !!! Boy it takes me a long time to do ballast... Put the whole main line section in place and just finished running some trains down that section. Really wanted to take the large B & O EM-1 articulated on this section and make sure I was clearing the cinder & ashes on the incline..... Everything clears, thank goodness. Now I'll just have to blend the new cinder covered incline in with what I did a year ago as I am ballasting the main under the signal bridge... Looking forward to completing the lower level and then adding the next 8 foot section.

great progress!
