For those of you who look to real life for inspiration on weathering and scenery approaches, I have a post in the Prototype Information forum (http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/206570.aspx) of an abandoned railroad museum in Waterbury CT. Alternatively, you can go to my webpage with dozens of photographs of the site.

Just a quick note. This is not an abandoned RR Museum. It is a secured storage area for the RMNE (Railway Museum of New England) The fenced and gated area is alarmed and patrolled. This is part of the active line for the Naugatuck RR, which owns the RMNE.
Please note, this is in no way “abandoned!”
Trespassing is not permitted anywhere on RMNE property. Much of the equipment here is awaiting restoration. Please contact the RMNE if you wish to arrange for a tour or for more information.

Correction noted. Just to note Eric, no trespassing of RMNE property occurred in taking these photographs.
Thanks for noting the correction.
No worries on your photos either. [8D] I could tell from the photo angles that there was no trespassing involved in taking those great shots. The concern was over use of the term “abandoned,” which might give some folks the idea that they could grab some artifacts from an abandoned site.
