RSJB18 posted:Thanks for all the comments Guys! Rainy Sunday here in NY so hopefully I can get more done today. I received some nice Western Maryland freight cars from forum member @cpowell the other day. I'll unpack them while the glue is drying and share some pix later. Since I have a small layout I like to switch out the railroads occasionally. Pennsy and NY Central will take a break and WM, Chessie, B&O will run the rails for a while.
Mark- sorry to hear about the issues at work. You will find something for sure. Nice to see some track work going down.
CSX Al- those walls look great. Who did them for you?
Biscuitag97- nice work. I'm across the Sound on LI. Been up to Boston on Amtrak many times along the shore.
Lee- Real ballast! AwesomeI've read from other guys who use real stuff say that they wash and bake theirs to sterilize it before putting it down. Don't want any little critters invading your little world.
NS6770FAN- clean slate- keep us posted on the construction.
MikeG- love to see how those Tortoise motors go in.
Paul- the falls are looking good. Ever think about lighting them like they do at Niagara Falls? A couple of color-changing LED's behind the silicone would look cool.....Bob

I used to haul from this place where I got this ballast on the side of the road where the truckers dump the excess off. They crush it into different sizes. Back in 1990 when they were building the metro link in St. Louis I was pulling a dump trailer and hauled may of loads of this ballast (real size) for the tracks.
