Another great Saturday of layout work. Wish I could say the same. I did pick up the piece of trim I need for the front edge of the layout. I should have time to cut and install today.
Paul- the gorge is looking great. I'm stressing over the waterfall work to come....
Daniel- The ballast looks good. I have a couple of pieces on my layout that I did the same with. I painted the sides with white glue and sprinkled the ballast on. I let it set then went back with wet water and more ballast to fill any gaps. I left the top bare too. Once dry I blended the edge with some different gravel and some brush to cover the back of my 5121 switches.
Dr. Joe- I with you on the adult beverages (I usually head for the single malt 
),...not DCS though, exactly why I have not made the jump yet.
Mike G- glad you are finally dug out. I'm sure Tank is happy to get into the yard again too. I wonder what our furry friends think of snow. Our outdoor cat loves it, she runs around like a nut diving into the piles. Expecting a whopping 1-2" tonight, changing to rain tomorrow. Don't know what happened to winter this year. All the storms have been just northwest of the Island. Enjoy the race today.
Brian- Izzy needs to start laying track....
Kevin- the striping crew is doing a great job. Those union work rule are a PITA to deal with.
Lee- Love that Tucker. All of your cars and trucks are just as nice as the trains.
John R- Another fine looking bunch of people. You are a good Son too......
Choff- Very nice layout. Please share more
Larry- Love the water tower. Gotta have some fun now and then. The roof looks great.
Geyser- the new track plan looks much better. I'm always frustrated by miss-aligned couplers on curved sections. I usually call in the 5-finger yard master to fix the problem. That looks like a great area to do some serious switching work.
Mark- haven't commented lately but good to hear you are finally felling better. Hope you get back to work on the layout soon.
Put my new WM MP-15 and caboose out to do a few laps. More pix to follow.
