HO Shelf layout, (2’ X 8’) DCC/Sound, 50’s era. Not completed yet. Part of waterfront scene. The buldings here were scratch built for my previous layout. Spent so much time building them, had to saved them for use on this layout. The background buildings were not scratch built. No figures yet but hope to have a bunch of activity soon. Finally get a chance to do some super deailing.
Cheers, DON
Looks real good. Looks like alot is happening. I am currently doing a shelf layout, and I still have a ways to go.
You have nailed the busy waterfront…Nice modeling…lets see more…Cox 47
Thanks for the nice comments!

Lookin’ good! May I suggest a few minutes with brushes and dry chalk weathering on the new structures? That’ll give the place a “lived in” look to match your scratchbuilt structures. Keep up the good work–and keep us posted with more photos as you make progress.
I also have a long way to go on my shelf layout. This is the first section 80" x 32" on a hollow core door. The railroad will be a “L” shape. Click on photos to enlarge! Also check out the links below for more photos of this layout.

Looks Great!
I am glad I am not the only one doing a shelf layout! By the way, wired my turntable tonight and it works great. Guessed right on the wireing the first time. LOL[:)]

A very busy scene with lots to look at, wonderful work !
Thank you again for the nice comments. I use Black ink and alcohol to weather the wood. Will try it on the background Building also one of these . Want everything to look old.
