Weekend Photo Fun 5-24-19-??

Always a good way to start the weekend, thanks for doing this Scott.

I haven't posted in awhile, life happens.  Haven't been able to do too much work on the layout but did take some pictures.  It's interesting to find things in the pictures that eyes alone don't always catch.  For example, the gaps between sidewalks in this picture.  Helps me fill in little things that I would otherwise miss.

Finally finished building the Atlas O icing platform. Hooo boy, lotta parts!

Took extra time too with adding led lights (from forum sponsor Evan Designs) to the ice deck and shanty. Also applying multiple layers of first base paint, then ground cover to the platform base.

Used this Aged Iron textured paint from Rust-Oleum for the deck roof. Made multiple passes to give the roof a rough tar paper look and feel. Came out pretty good.

The finished assembly.

Will put this now on the layout next to the ice house finished weeks ago.

Enjoy your weekend.

Have a Great Weekend!

Fun photos for this weekend beginning with a thank you ( first photo ) to all those who have served.  

A 2018 Christmas Layout memory

I probably shouldn't have used my typical smiley face this week because I'm going to show the one single task that I can't stand doing each year.  I realize that to most of you this is small potatoes but not for me who tries to hide every wire.  Also consider that NOT shown is the terminal strips that I use to distribute power to my DCS layout.

UGH!

Great images, nice work!

Wow some nice layout photos great work folks.

We have the Thomas the Tank engine event at our railway heritage park over 5 days here are some shots of my set up with the LionChief controls on the fence for the kids to run 10 Thomas theme trains. Also 2 gateman, whistles, Cranky the crane, Popcorn stand, whistles, fork lift loader, and lots of sounds buttons. Good crowds kids stay a long time to run the trains.  I made this Slinky dog based on other examples on the forum kids like it works fairly well. 

Really needed to see this stuff today. Great pics as usual. I showed my one friend and coworker the closeup shot of the Bada Bing on Patrick Was layout. Really needed a great laugh. Today isn't like I expected work to be. Thank God we can all relax after today(hopefully).

Happy Weekend.

Dave - There' nothing like laughter to cure what ails us!  Glad my Bada Bing photho could bring you some laughter!

Love those night shots!  You can never have too much night lighting on your layout.  I plan on adding a lot of lights to my layout  It really gives the layout a different look and brings the layout to life!
